- Description
- The goal of the Manufacturer Direct Program is to establish an alternative to manual open market purchase activity, re-engineer the business process with automated e-commerce business solution. The objective of this solicitation is to establish a Fixed Price (with Economic Price Adjustment) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract with Medtronic's cardiovascular products and the ancillary accessories that fall into the following categories; Cardiac Rhythm and Heart Failure Devices (CRHF), Subcutaneous Diagnostic and Monitoring (SQDM), Coronary, Perfusion, Invatec, Structural Heart, Peripheral Stents, Endovascular (Endo) and Atrial Fibrillation (AF). Other sole-source Medtronic products groups may be solicited at a future date under the forthcoming solicitation. The forthcoming solicitation will cover three delivery methods; "Just-In-Time (JIT)", "Direct Vendor Deliver (DVD)" and "Consignment Agreement". Under the JIT method, the MTF calls the manufacturer sales representative when a surgery is scheduled to discuss the case, make a product selection and inform him or her of the surgery date and time. The manufacturer sales representative will either "carry-in" or "ship" the cardiovascular products necessary for implantation to the designated site at the scheduled time. Depending on the type of surgery, the representative may have in their possession a number of "back-up" components available to the physician during the entire procedure. Under the DVD method, MTF's may order products through ECAT in advance of a scheduled surgery or purchase replacement inventory on an as need basis. Under this method all items are packaged for shipment to the delivery pointed cite on the purchase order. Under the consignment delivery method the cardiovascular products are placed in the MTFs, who pay only for the products that are actually used. Cardiovascular manufacturers enter into consignment agreements directly with the hospital. These agreements outline the rules and provisions with the hospitals that have inventory consigned to their facility. In the forthcoming solicitation, Medtronic will be asked to provide a list of MTFs with their applicable delivery method for each product category. This solicitation also contains an on-site personnel requirement for the contractor to provide advice and guidance to physician's before, during and after implantation of the device at the request of the Medical Treatment Facility. Technical support shall be available twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week. Market Research has revealed that there are no other manufacturers or distributors other than Medtronic Inc who can provide DoD hospitals with the complete Medtronic cardiovascular products and the ancillary accessories (such as needles for entry, guidewire, etc.) at the required time for surgery and be available on-site if needed to answer questions on all these products. The Medtronic Sales Representatives are experts on Medtronic's products and are a vital part of helping to ensure that the patient is getting the necessary treatment. Only Medtronic has these capabilities. Medtronic will have their product line loaded in the DLA Troop Support Medical Electronic Catalog (ECAT). All Orders, Order Acknowledgements and Invoice transactions are required to be electronic. Items will be delivered to various Department of Defense (DoD) research centers, hospitals, and clinics, and any federal customer participating in this program. The term of the contract will be a one-year Base Period and four one-year unilateral Option Periods. This procurement has an estimated value of approximately $13.5 Million for the Base Period, $13.6 Million for the first option period (if exercised), $13.7 Million for the second option period (if exercised), $13.8 Million for the third option period (if exercised), and $13.9 Million for the fourth option periods (if exercised), for a total of approximately $68.8 million over the five-year life of the procurement. Solicitation SPE2DE-15-R-0009 is expected to be issued 16 March 2016 and can be found on the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) at https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/. The point of contact is John R. Jackson, DSCP-FSCB, 215-737-0850, john.r.jackson@dla.mil. The solicitation will not become available until the solicitation issue date.
