- Description
- Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing & Textiles Directorate is conducting market research and investigation to determine industry capabilities for providing Personal Protective Equipment against viral contamination for planning purposes only. This is a Request for Information only and not a solicitation for award. DLA is asking for Industry feedback on Berry Compliant products or alternatives to the following five generic item descriptions as well as feedback on industry capability to provide DLA access to 100,000 units of each item within30 days of an order and their ability to provide continued support of 100,000 of each item every 30 days thereafter. For planning purposes, DLA is also requesting industry suggestions and comments on alternate contract arrangements wherein DLA would have access to such quantities in the event of another future crisis, such as the recent Ebola epidemic, without DLA actually purchasing and storing the inventory. Industry is asked to: (1) Identify the specific products they could provide meeting the requirements, (2) Level of commercial inventory they carry of each or can manufacture in a stated timeframe, (3) Identify, for each recommended item, whether item is specifically certified as PPE for viral infections and how, (4) Identify all places of manufacture and storage. (5) Identify total monthly and yearly capacity of each item recommended. (6) Identify production leadtime or limitations for each recommended item, (7) Suggestions on any contractual management fees for providing DLA access to inventory in the event of a future crisis without any guarantee of any order from DLA, (8) Identify if your firm is unwilling or unable to meet requirement along with reason why you consider the requirement infeasible.
