Master Agreement 090925-MSSL is a solutions-based cooperative purchasing contract between Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit, and MSS Ltd for the provision of medical supplies and equipment. The scope includes a comprehensive range of medical, surgical, pharmaceutical, and emergency preparedness products and services, including kitting and waste disposal, for use by governmental, educational, nonprofit, and tribal agencies across the United States and Canada. The agreement has an estimated annual value of 60 million dollars, with a total projected value between 240 million and 420 million dollars over a base term of four years, potentially extendable up to seven years. The contract is effective through January 5, 2030. MSS Ltd, a CCIB-certified Indigenous-owned social enterprise, is required to direct 51 percent of net profits back to Indigenous communities in Canada and provide quarterly transaction reports to Sourcewell. The award was determined through a trade-off process prioritizing pricing, the depth and breadth of solutions, and the ability to deliver. The supplier must adhere to various regulatory standards, including the Buy American Act, the Davis-Bacon Act, and the Clean Air Act. Performance is measured by pricing caps, timely order fulfillment, and a requirement to acknowledge customer inquiries within one business day. Inspection and acceptance terms are negotiated individually between the supplier and the participating entities for each transaction.
