    QSL Announcement MN-2311-09 Fecal Incontinence Products.docx
    The Defense Health Agency (DHA), in coordination with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), is announcing a Sources Sought notification to establish a Qualified Suppliers Listing (QSL) for Fecal Incontinence Products intended for Military Treatment Facilities. This initiative is not a request for quotes but aims to evaluate and compile a list of qualified vendors by November 2024. Interested vendors must register in the DAPA Management System and provide documentation including a DAPA number and country of origin. Products must comply with the Trade Agreements Act (TAA) and be cleared by the FDA, and vendors must confirm their capability to supply items for Military Health System procurement. Specific requirements for products include exclusion of natural rubber latex, clear documentation of single patient use, and meticulous adherence to safety and functionality specifications. Responses must be submitted by October 10, 2024, with evaluations conducted by experts to determine compliance for the QSL. This effort reflects the DHA's goal to standardize essential medical supplies for military operations while ensuring adherence to health regulations and quality standards.
    QSL Notice of Intent MN-2311-09 Fecal Incontinence Products.docx
    The Defense Health Agency's Medical Logistics Division plans to issue a Sources Sought notification for establishing a Qualified Suppliers Listing (QSL) for Fecal Incontinence Products, anticipated to be released on or around September 24, 2024, on the SAM.gov website. This initiative aims to evaluate various products, such as single-use closed system kits, to create a list of qualified suppliers. Vendors must possess or be acquiring a Distribution and Pricing Agreement (DAPA) and a commercial agreement with the current Medical/Surgical Prime Vendors, ensuring their accounts are active in the System for Award Management (SAM) and compliant with the Trade Agreements Act (TAA). All intended products must be listed on DAPA and adhere to TAA regulations, which require manufacturing in compliant countries unless no equivalent products are available. The Notice of Intent serves to inform potential suppliers that a QSL Announcement will soon be published, marking a step in the multifaceted Medical/Surgical Prime Vendor program managed by the Defense Logistics Agency. This notice emphasizes the non-requirement for proposal submissions at this time and aims to outline the requirements and procedures for interested vendors once the announcement is made.
    QSL Package Worksheet MN-2311-09 FECAL INCONTINENCE PRODUCTS.xlsx
    The document outlines qualifications and requirements for vendors applying to supply fecal management systems and related products to the Department of Defense (DoD). Key requirements include vendors holding a Defense and Federal Supply Schedule (DAPA) or being in the application process, having an active account in the System for Award Management (SAM), and providing specific product details such as manufacturer part numbers and product validations. The required products include an indwelling fecal management system and fecal collection bags, with technical specifications like single-use design, odor control properties, and FDA clearance. Vendors must submit comprehensive documentation, including product information, safety assurances (e.g., non-use of natural rubber latex), and visuals of the products before the submission deadline highlighted in the Sources Sought notification. Failure to meet these requirements will disqualify vendors from participation in the subsequent procurement process. The emphasis on compliance and technical specifications reflects the need for reliable, safe medical products within the military context.
