DRAPE, SURGICAL

The contract specifies the procurement of disposable surgical drapes made from nonwoven fabric, measuring 44 by 72 inches nominally, with each unit of issue consisting of 20 drapes packed as a single package. The drapes must comply with MIL-D-36917 and its amendments, which have been modified to update dimensions, packaging, folding, and marking requirements. The folding must follow a standard fan fold method, with each drape sealed in an individual anti-static, peel-open or tear-open bag to maintain sterility, and 20 such units form one shipping package. All drapes must be sterile, with radiation sterilization permitted under FDA-approved processes and dosimetry release as an alternative to traditional testing. The material must demonstrate low-surface-tension fluid repellency, specifically alcohol repellency per INDA Standard Test 80.9-74, with manufacturer certification acceptable. Cut edges must be smooth and straight without roughness or raggedness, and all drapes must be properly marked with class, size, and the legend “SPLIT” where applicable. Packaging and marking conform to Medical Marking Standard No. 1, superseding MIL-STD-129, and require clear labeling of lot number, sterility status, and other commercial legends. The item is classified as a Type 2 (Code 7) medical device with a 36-month shelf life, extendable, and is regulated by the FDA. Delivery is required FOB destination with a 104-day timeline and no variance allowed in quantity, and shipping must follow commercial practices ensuring safe, low-cost transport to the designated military medical supply center in APO AE.
