65 -- MEDICAL SURGICAL PRIME VENDOR SOL SP0200-99-R-5006 DUE 011400 POC Andrea Nicolucci-MSAA-215-737-7731/Donna Kennedy-MSAA-215-737-7075 WEB: DSCP Home Page, http://www.dla.mil. E-MAIL: Contracting Officer, anicolucci@dscp.dla.mil OR dkennedy@dscp.dla.mil. Each Prime Vendor (PV) shall provide all medical/surgical products for which it has been authorized as a distributor under a Defense Supply Center Philadelphia (DSCP) Medical's Distribution and Pricing Agreement (DAPA), or other designated contracting instrument (all hereafter referred to by the term "DAPA"). (Note: The name "Distribution and Pricing Agreement" may change during the term of this contract.) Only items appearing on a DSCP Medical DAPA will be ordered and delivered under the PV contract. All items are brand name specific or generic commercial products that are identified by the manufacturer's item descriptions and part numbers and conform to the manufacturer's commercial specifications. The PV shall distribute the medical/surgical products to the Routine Ordering Facilities (ROFs) and Master Ordering Facilities (MOFs). There will be two Indefinite Quantity PV contracts (IQCs) resulting from this solicitation. Each contract will cover ROFs within the 50 states plus the District of Columbia (D.C.). (If necessary, the contracts will also temporarily cover the ROFs in Panama, Honduras, Guantanamo Bay Cuba, and Puerto Rico until separate global coverage is implemented). In addition, these contracts will cover designated MOFs which are able to place orders at any time for any of the listed ROFs (at the ROF current distribution fee), normally to meet the demands of contingency operations or to facilitate placement of unusual orders (e.g., equipment items). The term "ordering facility" will be used to cover situations where both ROFs and MOFs are affected. Each contract will have a guaranteed minimum. The IQCs will have a 20-month base period, two 20-month option periods, plus a single12 month extra period to accommodate the rolling transition. Each ROF will have a maximum of five continuous years of ordering. (The last ROF to transition to the contract will still have three 20-month periods on the contract.) The guaranteed minimum for each contract for the base period will be $8,300,000 in sales and the maximum is $442,000,00 in sales. These figures are based on the Government's good faith best estimate. The maximum reflects the most a single PV can receive should all ROFs commit to it for the base period. Each option period will reflect the same guaranteed minimum and the same maximum as above. Offerors must propose distribution fees for varying levels of delivery and service. Posted 10/19/99 (W-SN392900). (0292)
