Search and Rescue Training

The Washington Military Department awarded a sole‑source contract to Base Medical to provide a statewide, on‑demand Search & Rescue (SAR) training program that satisfies all Washington SAR qualification requirements (WAC 118‑04‑120). The solution includes a comprehensive online curriculum, a subscription model that grants free access to all qualified volunteers, tribal entities, and SAR coordinators, and integration tools for existing e‑learning accounts. The initial contract value is $35,000 for a one‑year term, with the option to extend up to four additional one‑year periods. The procurement was justified on the basis that no other vendor can deliver the complete set of required content, the state‑wide funding mechanism, and the necessary integration without in‑person evaluation. • Provides full SAR curriculum (physical fitness, CPR, bloodborne pathogen, crime‑scene, etc.) via online platform. • State‑wide subscription model enables free access for all eligible responders, reducing travel and logistical costs. • Sole‑source justification due to lack of any other vendor offering all three capabilities (content, funding model, integration).
