HEAT AND MOISTURE E

The contract is for the procurement of a single-use heat and moisture exchanger, identified as a 2-part humid-vent device with a transparent housing, designed for minimal dead space, lightweight use, and recommended for tidal volumes between 150 and 1500 mL. The item is classified as a FDA-regulated Class I medical device, requiring registration, listing, labeling compliance, and adherence to Good Manufacturing Practices, although a 510(k) premarket notification is not required. Each unit must be delivered with a minimum 60-month shelf life, non-extendable, and no more than nine months may have elapsed from the manufacturer’s date to the date of government receipt. Shelf-life markings must conform to the latest revision of Medical Marking Standard No. 1A, and all packaging and labeling must adhere to MMS No. 1, which supersedes MIL-STD-129. Labels must clearly display the manufacturer date, expiration or retest date, and the contract and lot number. The unit of issue is a package containing 20 units, and all packaging must meet commercial standards, protect against damage, and be suitable for safe transport via common carrier at the lowest rate to the destination. Palletization must follow DLA Packaging Requirements for Procurement (RP001), and the entire shipment must be sent via traceable freight methods, with parcel post explicitly prohibited. Delivery is FOB destination with a strict five-day window after receipt of order, and the goods must be delivered to the Naval Med Readiness Logistics Command in Williamsburg, Virginia. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination, and the item must comply with ASTM D3951 for general packaging unless superseded by DLA’s Technical and Quality Requirements, which take precedence. The contract requires full compliance with cybersecurity controls, trafficking in persons prohibitions, employment eligibility verification, sustainable product policies, and hazardous material labeling under 29 CFR 1910.1200, with deviations applied to several FAR clauses for consistency. Bidder information must include source, manufacturer, and part number, and all offerors must provide their Unique Entity Identifier and CAGE code, with socioeconomic status certifications required if claiming small business, HUBZone, WOSB, or SDVOSB status. The contract does not include unit pricing, but the NSN 6515-01-477-0878 and solicitation number SPE2DS-26-T-
