North American Rescue Simulation for NAMIview on SAM.gov

Pre-Solicitation Notice Notice of Intent to Sole Source The Naval Aerospace Medical Institute (NAMI)'s Flight Medic Course plays a crucial role in preparing medical enlisted personnel for critical enroute patient care, often in challenging, austere environments like military aircraft. The North American Rescue Simulation (NAR-S) Airframe Simulators are mission-essential assets for the Naval Aerospace Medical Institute (NAMI)'s Flight Medic Course, which trains personnel for en route casualty care. These systems directly support this mission by providing an unparalleled level of realism that bridges the gap between classroom theory and operational practice. The research for this capability was framed by the special requirement for platform-specific training, as medics must be proficient within the actual kinetic and spatial constraints of H-60 and CV-22 aircraft, a feature generic manikins cannot replicate. Furthermore, the system's advanced clinical features, such as interchangeable wounds and dynamic physiological responses, are critical for simulating complex trauma scenarios and developing life-saving decision-making skills under stress. Due to the proprietary and highly integrated nature of these simulators, only the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), North American Rescue, possesses the requisite technical expertise, software, and certified parts to maintain them. Therefore, this sustainment service is the sole viable method to guarantee the operational readiness of these critical training devices, ensuring NAMI consistently produce mission-capable flight medics. Need: The core of this requirement is for extended warranties to ensure the continuous operational readiness and lifecycle sustainment of the Government's three (3) high-fidelity North American Rescue (NAR-S) Airframe Simulators (two H-60, one CV-22). The warranty service must provide all necessary personnel, expertise, and materials to maintain the simulators at their original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications. This includes, but is not limited to, the following functions: Diagnose and Troubleshoot: The service must be capable of remotely and, if necessary, on-site diagnosing any reported system malfunction to identify the root cause of failure. Repair and Restore: The service must perform all necessary repairs to restore any failed or degraded component to full functionality. This includes the repair or replacement of all electronic, pneumatic, hydraulic, and mechanical systems integral to the simulators. Provide Technical Support: The service must provide on-demand technical support via phone, email, or virtual means to assist Government personnel with operational questions, software/firmware guidance, and initial troubleshooting. Maintain and Update: The service must perform preventative maintenance and apply necessary software or firmware updates as required to ensure the systems are operating on the latest stable versions provided by the OEM.
