    The Aerospace Medical Service Apprentice (AMSA) course is seeking to acquire a simulated ambulance to enhance training for approximately 1,500 medics annually. The current training environment lacks any simulated facilities, which hampers the learning experience compared to other military services. To comply with updated training requirements, medics must practice loading and off-loading medical stretchers. The AMSA program currently has only one stretcher and no ambulance for hands-on training. The request specifies a stationary ambulance simulator that fits under a 9-foot ceiling and accommodates a STRYKER ambulance cot, along with additional features like internal cameras, two-way audio, monitors, simulated medical equipment, and a flip-up bumper. Delivery should occur at JBSA Fort Sam Houston within eight weeks of the contract award. Contractors are required to provide an operating manual in English, including all necessary schematics and maintenance guidelines. This request underscores a significant need for improved training resources in the Air Force to ensure medics receive realistic training comparable to their civilian and military counterparts.
