Description

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 Casting Splints, Fiberglass Rolls. This is not a request for a price quote. The MMESO Pacific is the lead MMESO for this project. These Casting Splints, Fiberglass Rolls 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 the DMM Online 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 Casting Splints, Fiberglass Rolls in accordance with (IAW) FAR 9.2. The QSL for Casting Splints, Fiberglass Rolls will be established approximately 19 June 2021 and is anticipated to be the basis of a Standardization Action. All medical consumable items on 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 registration in the DAPA Management System (DMS) at https://www.medical.dla.mil/Portal/DapaMS/DapaMS.aspx and include either their DAPA number or their Defense Medical Materiel (DMM) number as part of their QSL Package Worksheet submission. Receiving a DMM number allows access to the DMS and is the first step to becoming a DAPA holder. DAPA holders must be prepared to ship items to the PVs, so that the PVs may carry inventory and MTFs may designate items as usage; therefore, standardized items may not be coded in the DMS as ""drop ship only."" NOTE: It is recommended that new participants contact each PV prior to adding items to DAPA, in order to gain a full understanding of the PV's requirements and any potential costs associated with PV handling of those items. If you qualify as a vendor on the QSL, you will then be invited, approximately 19 July 2021, to submit pricing quotes and a separate screenshot of your submitted DAPA Log submission or existing DAPA base uncommitted pricing for all required items to the MMESO POCs. Both pricing quotes and substantiating DMS documentation will be required for eligibility to enter into an Incentive Agreement (IA) for Casting Splints, Fiberglass Rolls. Only those vendors with an established DAPA will be eligible to enter into the subsequent IA. The Government reserves the right to standardize or not standardize on Casting Splints, Fiberglass Rolls. 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), unless it is determined that no functionally equivalent item is available from a compliant source. To be eligible for inclusion in the proposed QSL, all vendors are required to provide country of origin information in the QSL Package Worksheet. In addition, according to the DAPA Terms and Conditions, vendors must complete the DAPA TAA Certification for each item quoted. If a quoted item is a TAA Non-Compliant End Product, the Government can use this information to determine whether or not a non-availability determination exists or if the Government will make a non-availability determination for the item. Unless a non-availability determination is made or a waiver is obtained, TAA Non-Compliant Country End Products cannot be added to the QSL and/or DAPA. NOTE: The Contracting Officer will review submissions in response to the subsequent IA for Casting Splints, Fiberglass Rolls for country of origin purposes. Only vendors on the QSL who offer items which are US made, designated country, or qualifying country end products will be considered for an IA, unless the Contracting Officer determines that no functional equivalent item is available from a compliant source in accordance with DFARS 225.403(c)(i). Vendors are advised to keep this in mind when submitting their response to this Sources Sought notification. A. Products & Performance Required The MMESOs are seeking product line items in the category of Casting Splints, Fiberglass Rolls. Within the MHS MTFs and operational procurement this product line has an estimated annual sales volume of $611,596. This forecast is based on historical usage data during a recent 12-month period. Four items are required for addition to the QSL and account for 100% of the total volume in sales $611,596. The specifications for this project are shown in the �Requirements to Qualify for QSL� section below. B.
