- Description
- THIS IS A PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE OF TIERED EVALUATIONS: This procurement for medical/surgical prime vendor (MSPV) items is set-aside based on an order of priority as established in 38 U.S.C. 8127. TIERED EVALUATIONS INCLUDING LARGE BUSINESS CONCERNS: This solicitation is being issued as a tiered evaluation with the following tiers: (1) SDVOSB concerns, (2) VOSB concerns, (3) small business concerns with HUBZone small business concerns and 8(a) participants having priority; and (4) large business concerns. If award cannot be made, the solicitation will be cancelled, and the requirement resolicited. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) intends to issue a Request for Quotes (RFQ) on, about or possibly earlier than September 02, 2024, for the acquisition of consumable commodities in support of the Medical/Surgical Prime Vendor (MSPV) Program catalogue. The MSPV Program is a partnering effort between Veterans Healthcare Administration (VHA) and the VA Office of Acquisition, Logistics and Construction (OALC) to deliver a national strategic sourcing solution that combines a formulary approach with electronic cataloging and ordering of a wide range of medical and surgical supplies for the Veterans Administration Medical Centers (VAMC) and related facilities. The establishment of Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) is in direct support of this initiative and is a key element in the success of the MSPV Program as the BPAs will provide the mechanism that will supply the types of supplies for distribution to all VHA facilities located in the United States (US) and all US Territories. In order to support the MSPV Program, the VA will establish BPAs for medical/surgical supplies through Open Market BPAs under FAR Parts 12/13. The solicitation will be structured as a tiered evaluation to maximize Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and Veteran-Owned Small Business (SD/VOSB) participation. Quotations will be evaluated based on technical, price, and past performance. VHA clinicians will participate in evaluating all supplier quotations and awards will be made using comparative analysis. Please be on notice, Offeror�s shall meet Nonmanufacturer Rule (NMR) requirements or fall under current NMR class waiver(s) which can be found at: www.sba.gov/document/support-non-manufacturer-rule-class-waiver-list The NMR class waiver status can be notated on 36C24124Q0800 - Attachment A - Draft Quote Sheet. An Authorized Distributor Letter from the Manufacturer shall be included with all responses. The Authorized Distributor Letter from the Manufacturer shall include for each product(s) proposed authorizing the Offeror as a distributor for the proposed product(s). The letter must either state specific product(s) proposed or that the Offeror is an authorized distributor for all of the Manufacturer�s products. The letter must specify that the Offeror is an authorized distributor for the MSPV BPA Program. This letter must be on the Manufacturer�s letterhead and contain the signature of an authorized official for the Manufacturer. Additionally, the letter must be signed and dated within 60 days of the time the Contracting Officer receives it. In order for the authorized distributor/supplier to participate in the MSPV Program, the authorized distributor/supplier and the Prime Vendor shall establish a Commercial Agreement within 60 days of this award. The Commercial Agreement will govern the terms and conditions of the authorized distributor/supplier relationship and will not contradict the underlying terms and conditions established by this BPA or the underlying MSPV Contract. A sample ADL can be found on Attachment B - Sample Authorized Distributor Letter. The Government is aware of current Trade Agreements Act (TAA) requirements, and we encourage all Offerors to reply even if an item is TAA non-compliant. TAA compliance can also be noted on 36C24124Q0800 - Attachment A - Draft Quote Sheet. The MSPV Program recognizes that various NAICS codes may/can be used for this procurement.
