PAD, ABDOMINAL

The contract solicitation SPE2DS-26-T-106E seeks the procurement of 2 packages of ABDOMINAL PADS, each containing 240 sterile, large (8in x 7.5in) dressings intended for post-operative drainage use.

The pads are packaged sterile in sealed units, with 15 to 20 units per cardboard tray and 12 to 16 trays per package. The product must have a shelf life of 36 months, with no more than five months elapsed from the manufacturer’s date to the government’s delivery date, and all shelf-life markings must conform to the latest revision of the Medical Marking Standard. Packaging must comply with DLA requirements, MIL-STD-2073-1E, and ASTM D3951 for non-hazardous items, while ensuring each unit is sealed and properly protected. Markings must adhere to the Medical Marking Standard, superseding MIL-STD-129, and palletization must follow RP001. Delivery is required within five days of order placement to the Naval Med Readiness Logistics Command at Cheatham Annex, Williamsburg, VA, using the fastest traceable method excluding parcel post, with FOB destination terms. The product must be commercially packaged and shipped in accordance with medical acquisition standards, with inspection and acceptance occurring at the destination per FAR 52.246-2. The contractor must comply with the Buy American Act and Berry Amendment, and cybersecurity requirements including NIST SP 800-171 and basic safeguarding of contractor information systems. All submissions must be made electronically through DIBBS, with offers subject to SAM registration, employment eligibility verification, trafficking in persons prohibitions, and sustainable product considerations. The solicitation is not a small business set-aside, but a preference exists for HUBZone concerns. Payment processing requires electronic submission via WAWF with invoice and receiving report either combined or separate, and all contractual obligations are governed by a suite of FAR and DFARS clauses including whistleblower protections, disclosure controls, and limitations on confidentiality agreements.
