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 IV Tubing, Secondary Administration Sets. This is not a request for a price quote. The MMESO South is the lead MMESO for this project. These IV Tubing, Secondary Administration Sets 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 IV Tubing, Secondary Administration Sets in accordance with (IAW) FAR 9.2. The QSL for IV Tubing, Secondary Administration Sets will be established approximately 22 May 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 22 June 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 IV Tubing, Secondary Administration Sets. 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 IV Tubing, Secondary Administration Sets. 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 IV Tubing, Secondary Administration Sets 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 IV Tubing, Secondary Administration Sets. Within the MHS MTFs and operational procurement this product line has an estimated annual sales volume of $150,256. This forecast is based on historical usage data during a recent 12-month period. Eight items are required for addition to the QSL and account for 100% of the total volume in sales $150,256. The specifications for this project are shown in the �Requirements to Qualify for QSL� section below. B. Instructions to Vendors to Qualify for the QSL Vendors interested in qualifying for inclusion in the QSL must respond to this QSL Sources Sought notification by sending the appropriate QSL Package Worksheet and all supporting documentation via e-mail to the lead MMESO and DLA POCs below. The QSL requirements are outlined under Requirements to Qualify for QSL outlined below. Vendor must complete the QSL Package Worksheet in full to the MMESO POCs and DLA POC as listed in the QSL Source Sought notification by the above response date. The vendor�s submission 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; (4) Identification of the Sources Sought notification to which the vendor is responding, and (5) DAPA or DMM number.

Vendor must offer commercially available products for all items offered in response to this Sources Sought notification. Supporting documentation must be in form of commercially available catalogs and product literature (e.g. brochures, user manuals, product packaging, product specification sheets, product images, etc.).� 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. 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 Central Standard Time (CST) on the response date above for this QSL 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.
