Executive Summary
The Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium
The Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (MTEC) is an enterprise partnership in collaboration with industry and academia to facilitate research and development (R&D) activities, in cooperation with the Department of Defense (DoD) U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command (USAMRDC) and other Government agencies in the biomedical sciences (including but not limited to drugs, biologics, vaccines, medical software and medical devices) to protect, treat and optimize the health and performance of U.S. military personnel. MTEC is a nonprofit corporation with the following principal objectives:
MTEC is a broad and diverse biomedical consortium that includes representatives from large businesses, small businesses, contract research organizations, “nontraditional” defense contractors, academic research institutions and not-for-profit organizations; for more information on the MTEC mission, see the MTEC website at https://mtec-sc.org/.
MTEC operates under an Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) for prototype projects with USAMRDC. In accordance with 10 USC 4022, the MTEC OTA enables the Government to carry out prototype projects that are directly relevant to enhancing the mission effectiveness of military personnel and the supporting platforms, systems, components, or materials proposed to be acquired or developed by DoD, or to improvement of platforms, systems, components, or materials in use by the armed forces. As defined in the DoD OTA Guide dated November 2018, a prototype project addresses a proof of concept, model, reverse engineering to address obsolescence, pilot, novel application of commercial technologies for defense purposes, agile development activity, creation, design, development, demonstration of technical or operational utility, or combinations of the foregoing. A process, including a business process, may be the subject of a prototype project. Although assistance terms are generally not appropriate in OTAs, ancillary work efforts that are necessary for completion of the prototype project, such as test site training or limited logistics support, may be included in prototype projects. A prototype may be physical, virtual, or conceptual in nature. A prototype project may be fully funded by the DoD, jointly funded by multiple federal agencies, cost-shared, funded in whole or part by third parties, or involve a mutual commitment of resources other than an exchange of funds. Proposed prototype projects should not be exploratory in nature and do require a foundation of preliminary data.
Administrative Overview
Request for Project Proposals (RPP)
MTEC is utilizing a single-staged approach for this RPP. Each proposal submitted must contain both a Technical and Cost Proposal Volume as described in Section 4 of this RPP and must be in accordance with the mandatory format provided in the MTEC Proposal Preparation Guide (PPG), which is available on the MTEC Members-Only website (https://private.mtec-sc.org/). Proposals that fail to follow the mandatory format provided in the PPG may be eliminated from the competition during the CM’s preliminary screening stage (see Section 5 for more details on the Selection process). White papers are NOT required for this RPP. The Government will evaluate Proposals submitted and will select the proposal that best meets their current priorities using criteria in Section 5 of this RPP. The Government reserves the right to award Proposals received from this RPP on a follow-on prototype OTA or other stand-alone OTAs as necessary to meet mission requirements.
Offerors who submit Proposals in response to this RPP should submit by the date on the cover page of this RPP. Proposals may not be considered under this RPP unless received on or before the due date specified on the cover page.
Offerors must be MTEC members in good standing to be eligible to submit a Proposal. Offerors submitting Proposals as the prime performer must be MTEC members of good standing at least 3 days prior to submission of the Proposals. Subcontractors (including all lower tier subawardees) do not need to be MTEC members. To join MTEC, please visit http://mtecsc.org/how-to-join/.
