The Government is conducting market research to determine whether a commercial solution can be provided to meet requirements for battlefield wound infection prevention and treatment: barrier combination product. This market research may also assist with the further development and/or refinement of the requirements.
Objective and Purpose/Scope: DHA’s OPMED WPAC has a requirement to develop, deliver, and field medical products that address battlefield wounds and subsequent bacterial and fungal infections. The Battlefield Wound Infection Prevention and Treatment (BWI P&T) program is using a Family of Systems (FoS) approach that aims to develop multiple medical materiel solutions that are most relevant for use in austere environments where medical products may be limited and evacuation may be prolonged.
This RFI seeks responses to the barrier combination component of this FoS only.
Although there is an emphasis on use at the point of injury, this capability will likely be used across roles
of care spanning the austere battlefield environment to hospital care settings. The barrier combination product is
expected to be one of many components of the FoS that will provide novel solutions to the DoD and commercial
market with respect to wound care and infection prevention.
The barrier combination product must have the following minimum essential characteristics:
