Description

This Pre-Solicitation Notice is for information purposes only. This is not a request for submission of proposals or qualifications. RESPONSES OR OTHER INQUIRIES ARE NOT APPROPRIATE AT THIS TIME. Northern Regional Medical Command (hereafter referred to as NRMC) intends to issue a Request for Agreement Quotation (RFAQ) for the standardization of Vital Signs Monitors on or about May 23, 2013, but the actual issue date for this RFAQ may be delayed up to forty-five (45) business days. The primary objective of this effort is to standardize the quality of care across the MTFs in the NRMC Area of Responsibility (AOR) based on the critical balance of clinical efficacy and value. The intent for this initiative is the standardization of a clinically preferred product(s) and source for institutional medicine requirements at the lowest price. It is also intended for this initiative to result in the reduction of Stock Keeping Units (SKUs). As an NRMC-wide clinically driven program, vendors and products must meet specific technical requirements, plus products must meet or exceed specific clinical performance expectations as a primary consideration. Among vendors who meet the technical requirements and the products that meet or exceed the clinical acceptability, best value will determine selection. It is intended that the selected vendor(s) for this Standardization Action (SA) will support the NRMC goal of medical materiel standardization that meets institutional requirements. Examples of items being solicited could include, but are not limited to Vital Signs Monitors that can noninvasively and automatically measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure (NIBP), pulse rate, temperature and oxygen saturation (SpO2) for adult and pediatric patients over the age of 3 years. NOTE: This initiative will be part of the Medical/Surgical Prime Vendor program which is executed by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support, Directorate of Medical Materiel and standardized products must be obtained through the Department of Defense (DOD) Prime Vendor (PV) Program. To participate in this Standardization Action (SA) your company must have a Distribution and Pricing Agreement (DAPA) and a separate commercial agreement with the current Med-Surg PV for each MMESO Area of Responsibility (AOR), i.e., Cardinal Health, and Owens & Minor, or be in the process of obtaining a DAPA and a separate commercial agreement with Cardinal Health and Owens & Minor. This requirement is pursuant to the DAPA clause by which DAPA holders agree to the standardization initiative and agree to allow PVs to distribute their products. The IA resulting from the solicitation is a supplement to the PV Program and is not a contract. For additional information regarding DLA Troop Support Medical's PV program, please access the DLA web site at https://www.medical.dla.mil. Vendor must update their DAPA numbers for this product line in the DAPA Management System with the country from which each line item is an end product, IAW the Trade Agreements Act. Vendors responding to the solicitation will be required to ensure that all DAPA line items/end products in the subject product line list the proper Trade Agreements Act country. Detailed information about the requirements and selection process will be provided in the RFAQ. The purpose of this Pre-Solicitation Notice is to inform qualified entities interested in providing these services that the release of the RFAQ is imminent. Upon issuance of the RFAQ, all solicitation information will be available electronically on the Federal Business Opportunities website. 1.Vendor must provide Vital Signs Monitors which at a minimum can noninvasively and automatically measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure (NIBP), pulse rate, temperature and oxygen saturation (SpO2) for adult and pediatric patients over the age of 3 years.

Where lower Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) prices are available, DAPA holders are required by the terms of the DAPA to provide the FSS price as the DAPA price.

Vendor must provide quotes on items provided in response to the technical/company requirements.
