Supplier of Raw Gauze or Sponge Material

The contract seeks a supplier to provide raw 4-inch by 4-inch surgical gauze material in an unsterilized, un-packaged state, strictly compliant with medical-grade standards required for use in surgical environments. The material must meet all applicable specifications for purity, absorbency, weave density, and consistency to ensure compatibility with subsequent sterilization and packaging processes conducted by the U.S. Department of Defense. The procurement is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 313230, indicating it falls within the textile mill products manufacturing sector, and is intended for performance at Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri, with a zip code of 65305-1269. The opportunity was posted on July 26, 2026, with a mandatory response deadline of August 3, 2026, and is managed by the Medical Supply Chain MD SURG FSF under the Department of Defense. The supplier is expected to deliver material that can be reliably integrated into the military’s medical logistics chain without additional processing beyond sterilization and packaging. While specific quantities or delivery schedules are not detailed here, compliance with stringent medical and quality control benchmarks is non-negotiable, and failure to meet these requirements may result in rejection of the material or contract termination. Participation is open to qualified vendors through the DIBBS platform.
