TOMManikan Blast

This government solicitation, FA481925Q0060, is for the procurement of a "TOMManikan Blast" product, classified under Product Service Code 6910. It is set aside for Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB) and specifies a North American Industry Classification Standard (NAICS) code of 339113 with an 800-employee size standard. The solicitation outlines detailed terms for inspection, acceptance, and delivery within 180 calendar days from the award date to Tyndall AFB, FL. Key clauses include those related to electronic payment via Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF), item unique identification (IUID) for items costing $5,000 or more, and various Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) clauses covering areas such as small business subcontracting, combating human trafficking, and prohibitions on certain foreign-made products. An ombudsman is designated for resolving offeror concerns, and the use of Class I Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) is prohibited. A Brand Name Justification for the TOMManikan Blast is attached.

This Single Source Justification outlines the 325 CONS's requirement for a North American Rescue TOMManikan - Blast training mannequin, costing an estimated $58,450.00. The 801 Red Horse Training Squadron's EOD Section needs this specific model to train Tactical Combat Casualty Care, ensuring consistency with existing equipment and software. The mannequin simulates blast injuries with features like bleeding, lacerations, interactive audio, and movement, and is compatible with current NAR battery systems and wireless control software. Despite initial plans for a single-source justification due to existing compatible equipment, market research identified at least three small businesses capable of fulfilling the requirement. Consequently, this procurement will be competed as a small business set-aside on SAM.gov, with continuous market research planned to prevent future single-source awards. The contracting officer determined that only a single source was reasonably available at the time of the initial justification.
