DRESSING, WOUND CONTACT

The contract calls for the procurement of Silverlon Contact Wound Dressings, a medical device designed for direct application to wound surfaces to reduce bacterial and fungal counts within and around the injury site. Each dressing features a knitted nylon base uniformly coated with pure metallic silver, is individually sealed in foil packaging, and is supplied in boxes of five. The item is identified by NSN 6510-01-509-6925 with a unit of issue of PACKAGE/5EACH and requires delivery within five days after award, with a designated delivery location in Melrose, Massachusetts. The product carries a non-extendable shelf life of 60 months and must comply with strict packaging and labeling standards, including MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging and preservation, and Medical Marking Standard No. 1 (MMS No. 1) for markings, superseding MIL-STD-129 for non-radioactive medical items. Hazardous materials, if present, must adhere to OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard and require prior submission of Safety Data Sheets and a regulatory exception table. The contract is governed by a suite of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) clauses, including mandatory cybersecurity requirements such as Safeguarding Covered Defense Information and Cyber Incident Reporting (252.204-7012), NIST SP 800-171 compliance (252.240-7997), and basic safeguarding of contractor information systems (52.240-93), all subject to agency deviations. Payment processing is exclusively through the Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) system, with invoicing required for fixed-price deliveries through receiving reports and invoices. The procurement is managed by the Department of Defense’s Medical Supply Chain, with Kendall Jones listed as the primary point of contact. Offerors must submit electronic quotations via DIBBS by the deadline, represent their small business status and Unique Entity ID, disclose any provision of covered defense telecommunications equipment, and certify compliance with whistleblower protections and restrictions on internal confidentiality agreements. The solicitation does not specify evaluation factors or award criteria, indicating potential award on a lowest-price technically acceptable basis, and no contract options or modifications are described. All delivered items must meet DLA's Technical and Quality Requirements as referenced in the Master List, and failure to provide required documentation such as SDS or labeling compliance will disqualify an offer.
