Description
Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) Training Services Primary Installation (Base Requirement): Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER), Alaska Secondary Installation (Evaluated Option): Eielson Air Force Base (EAFB), Alaska Procuring Agency: Department of the Air Force, Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) Contracting Activity: 673d Contracting Squadron (673 CONS), JBER, AK GENERAL INFORMATION Document Type: Sources Sought Notice / Request for Information (RFI) Notice ID: FA5000-27-R-TCCC Anticipated NAICS Code: 611430 – Professional and Management Development Training ($15.0M Small Business Size Standard) Anticipated Product Service Code (PSC): U008 – Education/Training: Training/Curriculum Development (Secondary: U099 – Education/Training: Other) Anticipated Contract Structure: Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) with Cost-Reimbursable (CR) Travel/Per Diem Line Items for Optional MTT Deployments Contract Structure Model: Core Base CLINs (JBER Operations) + Optional CLINs (Eielson AFB Operations) Anticipated Period of Performance: 1 October 2027 – 30 September 2028 (Base Year) plus four (4) 12-month Option Periods (through 30 September 2032) 1.0 DISCLAIMER & STATUTORY NOTICE This Sources Sought Notice is issued solely for market research, planning, and information purposes in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 10 and FAR 52.215-3 (Request for Information or Solicitation for Planning Purposes). This notice does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP), Invitation for Bid (IFB), or solicitation, nor does it represent a commitment by the United States Air Force or Department of Defense to issue a solicitation or award a contract. The Government will not reimburse any costs associated with responding to this inquiry. All responses will be treated as proprietary information where designated and will be used by the requiring activity and contracting office to determine acquisition strategy, commerciality, the feasibility of a small business set-aside (including 8(a), SDVOSB, WOSB, or HUBZone programs), and the viability of including optional operational coverage for Eielson Air Force Base. 2.0 BACKGROUND & OPERATIONAL NEED In accordance with Section 708 of Public Law 114-328, DoD Instruction (DoDI) 1322.24 (Medical Readiness Training, Change 1), and Air Force Surgeon General (AF/SG) Directives, the Department of the Air Force has formally standardized battlefield trauma care under the Joint Trauma System (JTS) and the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (CoTCCC), fully sundowning the legacy Self-Aid and Buddy Care (SABC) program. Historical execution of TCCC across Alaska installations utilizing fragmented, collateral-duty military instructors has led to instructional variances, scheduling backlogs, and readiness inspection findings. The Government requires a turnkey, enterprise commercial solution to provide fully certified, standardized TCCC instruction, high-fidelity trauma simulation, mobile training capability, and authoritative database reporting. Base Performance Requirement: Permanent, turnkey instruction and simulation support at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) in Southcentral Alaska. Optional Performance Requirement: Mobile Training Team (MTT) instructional rotations and simulation transport to Eielson Air Force Base (EAFB) in Interior Alaska, exercisable at the Government's discretion based on operational requirements and funding availability. 3.0 SCOPE OF REQUIREMENT & BASIC DETAILS 3.1 Supported Organizations by Structure Core / Base Requirement (JBER): 673d Air Base Wing (673 ABW) & 673d Medical Group (673 MDG) – JBER (Active Duty) 176th Wing (176 WG) – JBER (Alaska Air National Guard, including 212th Rescue Squadron) 477th Fighter Group (477 FG) – JBER (Air Force Reserve Command) Optional Requirement (Eielson AFB): 354th Fighter Wing (354 FW) & 354th Medical Group (354 MDG) – Eielson AFB (Active Duty PACAF) 168th Wing (168 WG) – Eielson AFB (Alaska Air National Guard) 3.2 Required Training Tiers & Curricula All training must utilize current, standardized JTS terminal and enabling learning objectives published via Deployed Medicine across four distinct skill tiers: Tier 1: All Service Members (ASM): 8 contact hours; baseline survivability for non-medical personnel (tourniquets, wound packing, pressure dressings, airway positioning, hypothermia mitigation). Tier 2: Combat Lifesaver (CLS): 40 contact hours; advanced non-medical tactical responder care (needle decompression, vented chest seals, basic analgesia, casualty collection point operations, MIST/9-Line reporting). Tier 3: Combat Medic / Corpsman (CMC) & Medic-X: 64 contact hours; clinical field trauma for 4N0X1 aerospace medical technicians and AFMS MTF clinicians (bougie-assisted surgical cricothyroidotomy, supraglottic airways, intraosseous access, TXA administration, blood transfusions). Tier 4: Combat Paramedic / Provider (CPP): 80 contact hours; advanced pre-hospital trauma for Special Warfare (PJ/Combat Rescue Officers), flight surgeons, and independent duty medical technicians. TCCC Refresher Training: 8–16 contact hours tailored skills sustainment (non-certifying per DoDI 1322.24 § 4.3). 3.3 Estimated Annual Workload & Student Throughput (Base vs. Option) +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | ESTIMATED ANNUAL WORKLOAD: BASE (JBER) VS.

All didactic and static simulation training at JBER must occur in Elmendorf-side facilities (e.g., Building 5955, 673 MDG Education Center) or within Contractor-Furnished Facilities located off-base (Anchorage/Eagle River). JBER-Richardson facilities are restricted strictly to outdoor tactical maneuver ranges and MOUT complexes. Weekend Unit Training Assembly (UTA) Scheduling: Base Requirement (JBER): The contractor must support 26 cohorts annually executed on Saturday and Sunday drill weekends to support the 176 WG (ANG) and 477 FG (AFRC). Optional Requirement (Eielson AFB): If exercised, the contractor must support 8 additional weekend cohorts annually supporting the 168 WG (ANG). Optional Mobile Training Teams (MTT) to Interior Alaska: If the Eielson option is exercised, the contractor must possess the logistical and personnel capability to deploy self-contained Mobile Training Teams (MTTs) from JBER/Anchorage to Eielson AFB (Fairbanks region) approximately eight (8) times per fiscal year, transporting high-fidelity simulators, cold-weather moulage, and consumables. Sub-Zero Arctic Operational Environment: Outdoor field lanes operate in sub-arctic conditions with temperatures dropping between 0?F and -50?F (particularly in Interior Alaska). The contractor must demonstrate cold-weather trauma methodologies (tourniquet application over bulky Level VII ECWCS gear, anti-freeze simulated blood formulations, heated staging for chest seal adhesives, and hypothermia wraps in snow/ice terrain). Zero Live Tissue Mandate: In accordance with DoDI 3216.01, the use of live animal tissue is strictly prohibited. The contractor must provide 100% Contractor-Furnished Equipment (CFE) consisting of high-fidelity human patient simulators (e.g., Cut-Suit surgical simulators, ruggedized animatronic trauma manikins) maintaining an operational uptime of ?98%. Mandatory Instructor Credentials (DoDI 1322.24 § 4.4): 100% of instructors must hold current JTS-developed "Train-the-Trainer" certifications renewed every three (3) years. Civilian paramedic or BLS…
