ANESTHESIA SET, EPIDURAL

The contract seeks a single package of an epidural anesthesia set consisting of a 20-gauge catheter, a 17-gauge Tuohy Schliff winged needle, and 29 total components, designated by NSN 6515-01-323-6531. Each package contains 10 units and must comply with stringent quality, shelf-life, and freshness requirements: the product must have a 12-month non-extendable shelf life, with no more than two months elapsed between the date of manufacture and the date of delivery to the government. The item is regulated as a Class II medical device under FDA Regulation 868.5120, requiring compliance with 510(k) clearance, registration and listing, labeling standards, and good manufacturing practices. Technical and quality specifications are governed by the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements, referenced by R and I numbers, and the product must be marked in accordance with the latest edition of the Medical Marking Standard No. 1. Packaging, preservation, and labeling must adhere to MIL-STD-2073-1E, Special Packaging Instruction MPFWN00001 Rev, and MIL-STD-129, and any hazardous materials must be labeled per 29 CFR 1910.1200. Delivery is FOB destination to a U.S. military location in APO, with a firm requirement of delivery within 61 days after receipt of order. The solicitation is issued under DLA’s Automated Simplified Acquisitions Revision 105, with a closed solicitation process via DIBBS, requiring all bids to include the source and part number of the product offered. The procurement is a small business set-aside, and the government may apply a HUBZone price evaluation preference unless waived. Contract compliance is mandatory to FAR and DFARS clauses covering cybersecurity, safeguarding covered defense information, whistleblower protections, prohibition on covered telecommunications, and export controls. Electronic invoicing via Wide Area Workflow is required, and the contractor must submit a Safety Data Sheet prior to award; failure to do so disqualifies the offer. Contractors must also register in DLA’s AMPS system to access the Vendor Shipment Module, and all representations in SAM must be current, including small business status and compliance with the prohibition on covered defense telecommunications equipment. The contract includes destination inspection under FAR 52.246-
