BANDAGE, ELASTIC

The contract solicits three units of a 25-yard elastic bandage designed for securing wet or dry dressings on the large head, cranium, ears, face, neck, and children’s chest, constructed from rubber blended with nylon and polyester. The item, identified by NSN 6510-01-089-8207, must be delivered in strict compliance with medical-specific packaging and marking standards, superseding all references to MIL-STD-129 in favor of Medical Marking Standard No. 1, which governs labeling, barcoding, and logistical tracking for all medical acquisitions. Each unit must be sealed in a protective container and packed within commercial shipping containers capable of ensuring safe, cost-effective delivery to the FPO AE 09578 destination, a U.S. military postal address for the USS MASON DDG 87. Delivery is required within 20 days after receipt of order, with FOB destination terms placing full responsibility for shipping cost, insurance, and risk of loss on the contractor until receipt at the destination. The solicitation mandates strict adherence to DLA packaging requirements, including RP001 for palletization and the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements, which takes precedence over ASTM D3951 and other commercial standards. Hazardous materials, if applicable, must comply with FED-STD-313 and TQ Requirement IP025, and all shipping containers must be properly labeled per MMS No. 1, with Safety Data Sheets submitted prior to award if hazardous substances are involved. The contractor is obligated to use U.S.-flag vessels for ocean transport unless waived in writing 45 days in advance, and all shipments must be tracked through WAWF with electronic invoicing required. Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses governing trafficking in persons, employment eligibility, sustainable products, hazardous material identification, cybersecurity safeguards, and subcontracting for commercial products are incorporated, with deviations applicable to several clauses. The contractor must also possess a valid UEI and CAGE code, represent its size status accurately, and fully comply with all DFARS and FAR requirements, including prompt payment obligations to small business subcontractors and notification of any potential safety issues. The contract lacks specified pricing, contract type, or award methodology but is procured under a solicitation issued by the Department of Defense’s Medical Supply Chain with an August 11, 2026, response deadline.
