AI Contract Overview
The contract calls for the procurement of eight Blood Cooler, Field Transport units, specifically designed for combat medics to support the rescue, evacuation, and stabilization of casualties in austere environments. Each unit is an ultra-lightweight solution capable of transporting one unit of whole blood while maintaining a strict cold chain at 4°C (39°F) for a minimum of 16 hours without requiring external power. The system integrates vacuum-insulated panels protected by an ultralight hard shell to resist field punctures, a thermal insulated capsule, a data logger with an integrated pocket for internal temperature probe routing to eliminate snag hazards, and a Coyote Multicam MOLLE carrier for secure attachment to tactical gear. The design has been clinically and field-tested to ensure reliability under combat conditions. All units must comply with the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements and be marked according to Medical Marking Standard No. 1, which supersedes MIL-STD-129. Packaging must be commercial-grade, using suitable sealed unit containers and exterior shipping materials to ensure safe delivery via common carriers at the lowest rate, with palletization governed by DLA’s RP001 requirements. Delivery is required within 20 days of award to Fort Stewart, Georgia, under FOB Destination terms with destination inspection mandated. Invoicing must be processed electronically through the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) system, and fast pay is not applicable. The solicitation incorporates numerous Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, including cybersecurity safeguards, export controls, prohibitions on hazardous materials and Chinese military-linked equipment, and compliance with the Buy American Act and Berry Amendment, which now applies to acquisitions above $150,000. Additive manufacturing is explicitly prohibited unless authorized, and all offers must be submitted through the DIBBS portal by the August 17, 2026 deadline. Offerors are required to submit a Safety Data Sheet, and failure to do so renders them ineligible for award. The contracting office is the DLA Troop Support Medical Supply Chain, and the buyer is Patrick Esposito. The solicitation is not a small business set-aside but may be awarded automatically if eligible, and HUBZone price preferences may apply unless waived. All contractors must register with DLA’s AMPS system to access the Vendor Shipment Module and comply with DPAS ratings, as the order is certified for national defense use.
