- 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 Health Agency (DHA) Medical Logistics (MEDLOG) Division Medical Materiel Enterprise Standardization Office (MMESO) and the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Medical Prime Vendor (PV) Program announce a Sources Sought Notification for the creation of a Qualified Suppliers Listing (QSL) for Exam Gloves. This is not a request for quote or proposal. The MMESO West is the lead MMESO for this project. These Exam Gloves 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 for Safety Lancets, Adult in accordance with (IAW) FAR 9.2. All items proposed to be included in this QSL must be on a Distribution and Pricing Agreement (DAPA) for the DLA Troop Support Medical/Surgical Prime Vendor (MSPV) Program. All participating vendors must complete the certification in the DAPA Management System (DMS). The MSPV Program requires that all items be manufactured in a Trade Agreements Act (TAA) Compliant Country (see DFARS 252.225-7020 AND 252.225-7021). To be eligible for inclusion in the proposed QSL, all vendors are required to provide country of origin information in the QSL FBO Package Worksheet. In addition, according to the DAPA Terms and Conditions, you must complete the DAPA TAA Certification for each item offered. If an item offered is a TAA Non-Compliant End Product, the Government can use this information to determine whether or not a waiver exists or if the Government will seek a waiver for the item. Unless a waiver exists or is granted, TAA Non-Compliant County End Products cannot be added to the QSL and/or DAPA. Offers of U.S. made, qualifying country, or designated country end products from responsive, responsible offerors are currently not available for the procurement of Exam Gloves. DLA has been granted an exception for synthetic medical exam gloves manufactured in Malaysia or Thailand. As a result of that exception, this sources sought notification is being modified to allow submissions of TAA non-compliant synthetic medical exam gloves manufactured in Malaysia or Thailand. Any questions concerning TAA may be directed to Donna Raday at DLA Troop Support, donna.raday@dla.mil, 215-737-7885. The QSL for Exam Gloves will be established approximately February 2017 and is anticipated to be the basis of a Standardization Action. Qualified vendors will be invited approximately March 2017 to submit pricing proposals to enter into an Incentive Agreement for Exam Gloves. The government reserves the right to standardize or not standardize on Exam Gloves. A. Products & Performance Required. The MMESOs are seeking product line items in the category of Exam Gloves. Within the MHS MTFs and operational procurement this product line has an estimated annual sales volume of $12,639,253.00. This forecast is based on historical usage data during a recent 12-month period. There are five (5) required Exam Glove items the vendor must provide for addition to the QSL. These required items account for 89.28% ($11,284,988.00) of the total volume in sales ($12,639,253.00). 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 email response to this QSL 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 email 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, e-mail or hard copy). Vendors that do not meet the deadline of COB 5:00 PM Pacific Standard Time (PST) on the date listed for closing in this QSL FBO Sources Sought notification will not be included in the lead MMESO's review to establish the 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. Requirements to Qualify for QSL The requirements for this product line are outlined below. Complete answers and all supporting documentation must be provided with the vendor's submittal by the response date stated in this QSL FBO Sources Sought notification.
