The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support has issued a Request for Information (RFI), solicitation number SPE2DE26R003, seeking to identify capable small business manufacturers and distributors of medical and surgical supplies for Department of Defense use. The scope focuses on products such as trauma kits, needles, chest seals, blood transfusion sets, and other life-saving medical equipment. Vendors are encouraged to submit detailed capability statements limited to three pages, providing company information including business size, CAGE code, point of contact, and, if responding as a distributor, equivalent information for their manufacturing sources. Responses must demonstrate compliance with the Buy American Act (BAA), ensuring items are manufactured in BAA-qualified countries, and all products must hold Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval. If vendors propose alternate products to those listed, they must supply comprehensive manufacturer data and a cross-reference list that establishes equivalency and interchangeability, including production capacity and country of origin. This RFI is a total small business set-aside under FAR 19.5, explicitly excluding responses from large businesses. The acquisition is for market research purposes only and does not guarantee solicitation issuance or contract award. Proposals must be submitted electronically via email to the designated contracting officer, Hector Quinones, by 3:00 PM EST on May 11, 2026. While a detailed contract structure, pricing, or delivery timeline is not outlined, the place of contract performance is Philadelphia, PA. The solicitation does not specify formal FAR clauses, packaging or preservation standards, specific evaluation factors, or invoicing methods. Instead, the emphasis is placed on vendor capacity, product compliance with regulatory and statutory requirements, and the provision of sufficient documentation to enable the Government to evaluate alternate items’ suitability. This initiative supports the Department of Defense's mission to ensure dependable supply chains of critical medical equipment through small business engagement.
