MSGI Corporation Selected to Provide Training to Marine Corps Medics in Support of the TMIP-M USMC
June 3rd, 2005—MSGI Corporation, an
8(a) Small Disadvantage Business (SDB), veteran and minority
owned company headquartered in Tampa, was selected to provide
training and system administrator support to the Theater Medical
Information Program Maritime U.S. Marine Corps Component (TMIP-M
USMC), Quantico, VA. On February 2005, the Marine Corps medical
leadership validated the urgent need for the rapid deployment
of TMIP capability in support of Operations Iraqi Freedom and
Enduring Freedom. TMIP-M Program’s mission is to develop,
field and support a medical information management system for
medical forces in combat or hostile environments. In response
to this need, a state-of-the-art software known as “TMIP-Lite”
will be outfitted to Marine units deploying to Iraq in the summer
of 2005. The focus of TMIP-Lite is to capture patient data at
the initial point of injury/care, move it through successive
echelons of medical care if patient is evacuated; thus enhancing
medical situation awareness for operational commanders. According
to Lieutenant William Todd Jacobs, a Marine Corps Systems Command
Information Systems and Infrastructure Assistant Project Officer,
“TMIP Lite is a program that we strongly believe will
help Marines and sailors in Iraq to receive better and more
responsive medical treatment.” Furthermore, “commands
will have improved ability to track, maintain visibility on,
and contact with their medically evacuated personnel. Of course,
this will only be possible if medical personnel in theater are
properly trained to use the issued equipment. The Marine Corps
sought out MSGI in order to provide our medical personnel with
the best training and support available in order to make the
system work,” said Lieutenant Jacobs.
The estimated value of this small business set-aside 8 (a) contract
is a minimum of $554,432.94 during a one year period. Since
the year 2000, MSGI Corporation supports a similar pioneering
project with the U.S. Army, known as Military Communication
for Combat Casualty Care (MC4), fielding missions in locations
such as Germany, Korea, Kuwait, Qatar, Iraq, and military bases
throughout the U.S.
MSGI Corporation will provide fielding and training to Marine
units such as Battalion Aids Stations, Regimental Aid Stations,
Medical Battalions, and Marine Wing Support Squadrons in Iraq.
“Our experienced employees are uniquely suited to support
TMIP-Lite with the highest quality and performance possible.
We are proud and eager to provide deployment, training, and
systems administration support to the Marines Corps,”
said Angel E. (Hank) Cintron, President and CEO of MSGI Corporation.
