In order to assist with Industry Day preparation, the Government intends to release the three Draft Request for Proposals to Industry not later than 1 February 2026. Biological Containment Isolation System (BCIS) Description: The BCIS is a Biocontainment, Isolation, and Quarantine (BIQ) system that will convert existing positive pressure Collective Protection tents into a negative pressure mode. Resulting system will have directional airflow and exhaust filtration to contain airborne infectious particles within the area housing HCID-infected individuals. Other features such as, but not limited to, pressure alarms, anterooms for doffing and donning personal protective equipment and windows are needed for medical staff to provide care to the patients. Additionally, the BCIS solution must be transportable via ground and air and setup in the field with minimal manpower and equipment. The BCIS will provide the government a ground-based field deployable isolation area for personnel infected or suspected of infection with an HCID and allow medical staff to monitor and/or treat patients while decreasing the risk of infecting other patients and staff. Portable Patient Transport System (PPTS) Description: This single (non-ambulatory) patient BIQ transport system must be man-portable and will consist of an enclosure for the infectious patient with an attached battery-powered air filtration system to generate a negative pressure inside the enclosure, provide sufficient air changes inside the enclosure, and filter exhaust air from the enclosure. Other features such as, but not limited to, inlet air filters, glove ports, pass-thru interfaces, and windows are needed for healthcare workers to provide care to the patient during transport. Shipboard Isolation System (SIS) Description: This isolation system must be able to be erected quickly to temporarily isolate an infectious patient confined to a hospital bed in a shipboard environment. The system must include an air filtration system to generate a negative pressure inside the enclosure, produce sufficient air changes inside the enclosure, and filter exhaust air from the enclosure. Other features such as, but not limited to, inlet air filters, glove ports, pass-thru interfaces, and windows are needed for healthcare workers to provide care to the patient.
