Disposable Surgical Gown Solicitation SPE1C1-20-R-0137

Contract number SPE1C1-21-D-1426, issued on January 28, 2021, covers the procurement of up to 5,760,000 Level 3 Disposable Surgical Gowns with a total contract ceiling of $35,251,200. The acquisition falls under NAICS code 339113 and is managed by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support, located in Philadelphia, PA. The contract invokes an exception under DFARS 225.7002(b) because the Secretary has determined that items grown, reprocessed, reused, or produced domestically cannot be obtained in sufficient quality or quantity at competitive prices. This contract, tied to the solicitation SPE1C1-20-R-0137, is specifically for disposable surgical gowns, reflecting a need for large-scale supply likely related to medical or defense support operations. The primary points of contact for this procurement are Monique Porter and Robert Fagan, both based at the DLA office in Philadelphia. The contract allows the Department of Defense to secure these critical protective items efficiently under conditions that acknowledge market limitations on U.S.-sourced products.
