TEST TUBE, BLOOD COL

The contract specifies the procurement of vacuum blood collecting test tubes, 7 mL capacity, with sodium fluoride (30 mg, Grade D), requiring a 45-month shelf life, of which no more than eight months may have elapsed from manufacture to government delivery. The item is regulated by the FDA and must be delivered in compliance with stringent medical packaging and labeling standards, specifically the Medical Marking Standard No. 1, which supersedes MIL-STD-129. Each unit must be sealed in a protective container and packed in commercial shipping containers suitable for safe transport at the lowest freight rate, with palletization governed by DLA Packaging Requirements for Procurement (RP001). Labeling must include the NSN, manufacturer and CAGE code, date of manufacture, expiration or retest date, and contract or lot number. Packaging for non-hazardous material must follow ASTM D3951, while hazardous material requires adherence to IP025 per FED-STD-313, though all DLA Technical and Quality Requirements take precedence over commercial standards. The unit of issue is a package of 100 tubes, and delivery is FOB destination within 20 days of order placement to multiple locations including Thumrait, Oman, and APO AE addresses, with parcel post prohibited and traceable shipping methods mandated. The contract contains multiple CLINs with identical specifications and delivery timelines, all with zero quantity variance and acceptance performed at the destination. Compliance with FAR and DFARS clauses is required, including safeguarding covered defense information, cybersecurity reporting, prohibition of trafficking, employment verification, sustainable products, hazard communication, and subcontractor flow-downs. Contractors must register in SAM and use WAWF for invoicing, with no pricing provided in the contract itself, indicating a potential for lowest-price technically acceptable award. The supplier must possess an active UEI and CAGE code, represent socioeconomic status accurately, ensure product compliance with medical standards, and submit required safety data sheets and hazardous material labels prior to award.
