Description

Sources of Information Sought: BANDAGES, GAUZE, SPONGE, COTTON and SWAB The Defense Supply Center Philadelphia (DSCP) is the program manager for the Medical/Surgical Prime Vendor Program. Under this program DSCP has awarded multiple contracts to various distributors to supply the Department of Defense and other Government medical treatment facilities (hospitals, clinics, etc.) with medical/surgical supplies. Because these contracts exceed $194,000, the provisions of the Trade Agreement Act (TAA) apply as specified in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 25.4 et seq. and the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations Supplement (DFARS) 225.401 et seq. The TAA requires that Federal government procure only end items manufactured in the United States, Qualifying Countries and Designated Countries. End items not manufactured in one of these categories are considered to be manufactured in non-designated countries. Medical items manufactured in non-designated countries are prohibited from supply under the TAA, unless the DSCP seeks and is granted relief from the requirements of TAA. Therefore, the DSCP requests your response to this Request for Information (RFI). The information obtained regarding country of origin for your products will be analyzed to determine whether or not DSCP will seek relief from the requirements of the TAA.
