6515--691-CUSTOM PACKS
Solicitation # 36C26226Q1325
Solicitation 36C26226Q1325 is an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) firm-fixed-price contract issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 22, for the procurement of custom surgical and non-surgical packs for the Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System. This acquisition is a total set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) under NAICS code 339113. The contract has a one-year period of performance with no option periods. Due to the complexity of the products, the initial order must be produced, sterilized, and delivered within 24 weeks of contract commencement, while subsequent orders must be delivered within three business days. The contractor is required to maintain a minimum of three months of assembled custom packs on hand at all times. Award will be based on a best-value trade-off, where non-price factors—including experience, Buy American Act compliance, Non-Manufacturer Rule compliance, and limitations on subcontracting—are collectively significantly more important than price. Offerors must provide detailed manufacturing percentages for items produced in the United States versus foreign countries and submit both the Buy American and Made in America PPE certificates. All custom sterile procedure packs must have a minimum shelf life of twelve months upon delivery. Payment is structured as monthly-in-arrears, with payment due 30 days after the receipt of a proper invoice or government acceptance of items. The contract also includes a waiver of the Small Business Administration Nonmanufacturer Rule to ensure adequate competition.
