65--Potential sources sought to participate in the regional standardization of Sequential Compression Devices.

NA Potential sources sought to participate in the regional standardization of Sequential Compression Devices. Tricare Region 1 is a military integrated delivery network, comprised of Army, Air Force, and Navy medical treatment facilities (MTF) in the northea stern United States. We are considering a standardization initiative across the three military services for the Region 1 to establish a single source Regional Incentive Agreement (RIA) for Sequential Compression Devices. This is not a request for bid but an invitation to participate in a product evaluation that will result in one vendor being selected to provide this product to MTF's within Region 1. The vendor must be able to meet regional product volumes, provide products for demonstration and evaluati on at no charge, as well as provide product and in-service information to the designated MTF staff on all shifts. Initially, the vendor may be requested to participate in a product presentation and demonstration. A list of technical and clinical criteria will be provided to all vendors who choose to participate. The vendor/participants must be a holder of Distribution And Pricing Agreement (DAPA) with the Defense Supply Center Philadelphia (DSCP). Products are purchased through DSCP and the prime vendor for Region 1, Owens & Minor. If your company is not a current DAPA holder you are still eligible to participate by contacting the DSCP representative for DAPA enrollment John Charalabidis at +1 (555) 000-0000 or Helen Connor at +1 (555) 000-0000.
