The Defense Health Agency (DHA) and the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) seek information on Safety Lancets, Finger, for potential inclusion in the Qualified Suppliers Listing (QSL). This is a sources sought notification and not a request for quotes.
The Medical Logistics Division of DHA's Medical Materiel Enterprise Standardization Office (MMESO) aims to create the QSL for safety lancets used by Military Treatment Facilities and operational assemblages across the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps. Vendors interested in being considered for the QSL must submit a response to this notification, including a completed QSL Package Worksheet and supporting documentation.
The scope of work involves providing commercially available safety lancets that meet the specified technical requirements. These include providing detailed product information, validation that products are not made with natural rubber latex, FDA clearance, and compliance with general controls. Products must have instructions for use and be packaged in specific boxes with required labeling information. Vendors must also have the necessary agreements in place or be willing to initiate them with the current DoD Medical/Surgical Prime Vendors.
To be eligible, vendors must have a Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code and a Distribution and Pricing Agreement (DAPA) number or be in the process of obtaining one. Additionally, vendors must provide country of origin information, with products required to be manufactured in a Trade Agreements Act-compliant country.
The evaluation process will be conducted by a panel of experts, who will review submissions based on the specified requirements. Vendors have until 5:00 pm local Philadelphia time on August 5, 2024, to submit their responses.
For any clarification or questions, vendors can contact Ms. Rashida Winestock, Lead MMESO West Clinical Analyst Contractor, at rashida.a.winestock.ctr@health.mil or Mr. Harris Satari, Lead MMESO Team Leader Contractor, at harris.m.satari.ctr@health.mil.
This opportunity is expected to result in the creation of a QSL and potential future standardization actions. Vendors are encouraged to respond promptly and provide all necessary information to be considered for this federal contract opportunity.
