Update: NAICS code correction , review Hospital Supply TLS- Sources Sought (rev 1) document for correct listing. Update 03/20/2025 : As part of our ongoing market research efforts, DLA is expanding the scope of analysis to include FOB Origin terms as an additional delivery method. The original sources sought established FOB Destination terms, which are still applicable, and the main evaluation point for the Price Evaluation List (PEL) in providing the source of supply. However, incorporating FOB Origin will provide a more comprehensive view of potential Government need, and capacity of suppliers for Foreign Military Sales requirements- which is now part of the market research initiative. This update requests a response to identify vendor capacity to support Foreign Military Sales under the Tailored Logistics Support initiative; see Hospital TLS FMS Scope Expansion.doc
