- Description
- Complete answers and all supporting documentation must be provided with the vendor’s submittal by the response date stated in the QSL FBO Sources Sought notification. A vendor who does not meet all of these requirements or who does not submit documentation to support these requirements as requested will not be qualified for the QSL. Vendor must provide responses to the Sources Sought notification via the QSL FBO Package Worksheet. The Defense Medical Materiel Program Office (DMMPO) Medical Materiel Enterprise Standardization Office (MMESO) and the Defense Logistic Agency (DLA) Troop Support Medical Prime Vendor (PV) Program announce a Sources Sought Notification for the creation of a Qualified Suppliers Listing (QSL) for Sterile Disposable OR Towels. This is not a request for quote or proposal. The MMESO Pacific is the lead MMESO for this project. These Sterile Disposable OR Towels products are for purchase by the Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs) of the Military Health System (MHS) and for the operational assemblages of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Naval Expeditionary Medical Support Command (NEMSCOM) and managed regionally by MMESOs North, South, West, Pacific and Europe, hereafter referred to as MMESOs. For information regarding DLA Troop Support Medical's PV program please access its web site at https://www.medical.dla.mil. This Sources Sought notification is intended to solicit information and products for evaluation in order to create a QSL in accordance with (IAW) FAR 9.2 for Sterile Disposable OR Towels. The QSL for Sterile Disposable OR Towels will be established approximately February 2014 and will be the basis of a Standardization Action. Qualified vendors will be invited approximately March 2014 to submit pricing proposals to enter into an Incentive Agreement for Sterile Disposable OR Towels. The government reserves the right to standardize or not standardize on Sterile Disposable OR Towels. A. Products & Performance Required. The MMESOs are seeking product line items in the category of Sterile Disposable OR Towels. Within the MHS MTFs and operational procurement this product line has an estimated annual sales volume of $910,244.17. This forecast is based on historical usage data during a recent 12-month period. Eight product groups of Sterile Disposable OR Towels of the total fifty-two products represent the clinically significant product groups for the QSL. All eight products are considered the requirement for addition to the QSL and accounts for 100% ($910,244.17) of the total volume in sales in the MHS. The specifications for this project are shown in "Requirements to Qualify for QSL" section below. B. Instructions to Vendors Vendors interested in qualifying for inclusion in the QSL must provide an e-mail response to this FBO Sources Sought notification to the lead MMESO POCs below. The vendor's responses must include all detailed information requested in the "Requirements to Qualify for QSL" section below and must also include: (1) Company name and address; (2) Company POC (Name and Phone Number, Fax Number, and E-mail address); (3) Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code; and (4) Identification of the Sources Sought notification to which the vendor is responding. Due to the potential for e-mail to be lost in transmission, from network security, etc., vendors are strongly encouraged to confirm with the lead MMESO that their e-mail submission has arrived. Each submitting vendor is advised to confirm receipt, allowing adequate time for resubmission before the due date and time should a problem occur with the first submission. As part of the "Requirements to Qualify for QSL", vendors must complete and submit the QSL FBO Package Worksheet. Any vendor experiencing difficulty opening the Worksheet may contact the MMESO POCs. The MMESO POC will provide a Worksheet copy via an alternate method (fax, email or hard copy). Vendors that do not meet the deadline of COB 5:00 PM Hawaii Standard Time (HST) on the date listed for closing in this FBO Sources Sought notification will not be included in the lead MMESO's review to establish the instant QSL and thus will not be able to participate in the subsequent Standardization Action. C. Source Selection Procedures The MMESO Joint Product Review Board (JPRB) will serve as the forum for clinical recommendations for product selection and coordinate logistics efforts in support of DoD Components. The board is chaired by Designated Senior Logisticians (DSLs) and co-chaired by Designated Senior Clinicians (DSCs) in the MMESO Areas of Responsibility (AORs) and includes clinicians and logisticians for MTFs within each MMESO. The Clinical Advisory Committee (CAC) members are the deciding officials for this initiative. The MMESO DSLs and DSCs intend to review responses and evaluate products for selection to the QSL IAW FAR 9.2.
