    Description

    The US Department of Defense intends to establish a Qualified Suppliers Listing (QSL) for knee compression sleeves, a medical device worn over the knee for support and pain relief. This listing will streamline future procurement processes for these specialized sleeves. The Defense Health Agency seeks to create a comprehensive QSL, which will form the basis of a subsequent Standardization Action and Incentive Agreement. Vendors must have existing contracts with specific medical suppliers and manufacture in Trade Agreements Act-compliant countries to be eligible. This advance notice is a precursor to the official QSL announcement, which will initiate the procurement process and outline participation requirements. Interested parties are advised to prepare, as responses will not be permitted until the official announcement.
