    MTEC-25-ExMedModernize_Pre-Announcement.pdf
    The Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (MTEC) has released a pre-announcement for a forthcoming Request for Project Proposals (RPP) aimed at revolutionizing expeditionary medicine (EXMED) for military operations. The focus is on developing integrated medical solutions for Warfighter prototypes that include stabilization, resuscitative care, primary care, and dental services. This initiative is designed to enhance medical capabilities on newly specified navy ships, ensuring effectiveness in modern combat scenarios characterized by multi-domain operations. The RPP seeks a prime integrator to lead the project, facilitating rapid prototype development while fostering collaboration with service members for feedback. Proposed solutions should address the transition of EXMED technologies into practical military and commercial applications. MTEC plans to allocate up to $800,000 for this program, with an emphasis on assembling a single awardee, though collaboration may occur if necessary. The acquisition will follow an Enhanced White Paper approach, aiming for comprehensive support to modernize military medical technology within an 18-month period. This pre-announcement highlights MTEC's objective to advance healthcare provisions for the U.S. Navy and the crucial role of medical technology in ensuring military readiness and effectiveness.
