Consumable Medical Supplies (CMS)

This contract solicitation, issued by FEMA’s Incident Support Section under the Department of Homeland Security, seeks proposals for a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to supply Consumable Medical Supplies (CMS) kits and individual items. The contract supports both steady-state stock replenishment and emergency surge operations across the Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS). The supplier is responsible for assembling and delivering complete CMS kits (CLIN-0001) and/or ala carte consumable medical supplies (CLINs 0002-0109) to various FEMA-managed locations such as Distribution Centers, Incident Support Bases, Federal Staging Areas, Points of Distribution, and shelters, which will vary and be designated based on emergency declarations. The contract period includes a twelve-month base year commencing June 22, 2026, with four successive one-year option periods extending through June 21, 2031, and is set aside entirely for small business participation under SBA’s guidelines. Key operational requirements specify that the contractor must maintain and replenish FEMA stockpiles, ensuring perishable and non-perishable items meet a strict minimum shelf life of 13 months at time of delivery. CMS kits must be properly packaged in tri-wall containers on standardized pallets, securely fastened and labeled with detailed packing slips that include CLIN numbers, quantities, manufacturer details, lot numbers, and expiration dates for perishable components. Deliveries during steady-state must occur within 45 days, and emergency response shipments require expedited delivery within 48 hours. In-transit visibility mandates electronic data interchange or use of FEMA’s LSCMS Vendor Portal for shipment tracking, although no explicit barcoding standard is defined. Evaluation of proposals emphasizes technical approach and past performance significantly over price, focusing on capabilities in logistics, packaging, tracking, quality control, and timely delivery under both routine and surge conditions. The contract incorporates prescribed Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and DHS-specific clauses, including requirements concerning organizational conflicts of interest, contractor employee access, safeguarding of controlled information, key personnel designation, and termination provisions. Award decisions will be based on a best-value tradeoff, enabling FEMA to balance technical merit and cost considerations to secure the most advantageous outcomes for disaster preparedness and response medical supply needs.
