- Description
- Complete answers and all supporting documentation must be provided with the vendor’s submittal by the response date stated in the 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 Medical Materiel Program Office (DMMPO) Medical Materiel Enterprise Standardization Office (MMESO) and the Defense Logistic Agency (DLA) Troop Support Medical Prime Vendor (PV) Program announce a Sources Sought Notification for the creation of a Qualified Suppliers Listing (QSL) for Transport Specimen Bags. This is not a request for quote or proposal. The MMESO Europe is the lead MMESO for this project. These Transport Specimen Bags 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 in accordance with (IAW) FAR 9.2 for Transport Specimen Bags. The QSL for Transport Specimen Bags will be established approximately November 2013 and is anticipated to be the basis of a Standardization Action. Qualified vendors will be invited approximately December 2013 to submit pricing proposals to enter into an Incentive Agreement for Transport Specimen Bags. The government reserves the right to standardize or not standardize on Transport Specimen Bags. A. Products & Performance Required. The MMESOs are seeking product line items in the category of Transport Specimen Bags. Within the MHS MTFs and operational procurement this product line has an estimated annual dollar requirement of $415,289.46. This forecast is based on historical usage data during a recent 12-month period. Eighteen product groupings were found to be relevant to the scope of this QSL. Of the eighteen product groups, four represent the clinically significant product groups for the QSL, account for 73.74% ($306,222.07) of the total volume in sales ($415,289.46), and are the required products for this QSL. The specifications for this project are shown in Requirements below. B. Instructions to Vendors Vendors interested in being added to the QSL will provide a response to the FBO Sources Sought notification via e-mail to the POCs below. The vendor's responses will include detailed information requested in the requirements listed in the FBO Sources Sought notification 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 e-mail to be lost in transmission, from network security, etc., vendors are strongly encouraged to confirm with the MMESO Europe that its submission, quote and literature actually arrived at the MMESO Europe via e-mail. 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. Vendor must complete and submit the FBO Package Worksheet. A vendor who cannot open the FBO Package Worksheet may contact the POC as noted in the FBO Sources Sought notification and a copy will be provided via an alternate method (fax, email or hard copy). Upon submission of the requested information, vendor will be provided ship to addresses and requested to provide required products for evaluation as indicated in Evaluation paragraph below. Vendors that do not meet the deadline of COB 5:00 PM Pacific Standard Time (PST) on the date listed for closing, per the FBO Sources Sought notification, will not be eligible for subsequent participation in the Standardization Action. Submissions received after the date listed for closing will be reviewed periodically and vendors will be notified of whether they met or did not meet the QSL requirements within approximately 240 days. 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 for the QSL IAW FAR 9.2. Requirements to Qualify for QSL Transport Specimen Bags requirements are outlined below. Complete answers and all supporting documentation must be provided with the vendor's submittal by the response date stated in the FBO Sources Sought notification.
