This Notice of Intent to Establish a Qualified Supplier List is for information purposes only. This is not a request for submission of proposals or qualifications. RESPONSES OR OTHER INQUIRIES ARE NOT APPROPRIATE AT THIS TIME. The Defense Medical Materiel Program Office (DMMPO) Medical Materiel Enterprise Standardization Office (MMESO) and DLA Troop Support Medical Prime Vendor (PV) Program anticipate issuing a Sources Sought Notification for the establishment of a Qualified Suppliers Listing (QSL) for Urine Vacuum Tube Collection Kits through the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website on or about 18 July 2013. This is not a request for quote or proposal. Examples of items for the QSL could include but are not limited to: Urine Vacuum Tube Collection Kits in various sizes, sterile and non-sterile, latex free or latex safe, and single use. The primary objective of this effort will be to solicit information and products for evaluation in order to create a QSL. The QSL for Urine Vacuum Tube Collection Kits will be the basis of a separate Standardization Action (SA) resulting in an Incentive Agreement (IA). This initiative will be part of the Medical/Surgical Prime Vendor program which is executed by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support, Directorate of Medical Materiel. To participate in the QSL process vendors must have or be in the process of obtaining a Distribution and Pricing Agreement (DAPA) and a separate commercial agreement with the current Med-Surg PV for each MMESO Area of Responsibility (AOR), i.e., Cardinal Health, and Owens & Minor. Vendors must have a current and active Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code. For additional information regarding DLA Troop Support Medical's PV program, please access the DLA web site at https://www.medical.dla.mil. Vendors must update relevant part numbers for this product line in the DAPA Management System with the country from which each line item is an end product, IAW the Trade Agreements Act. Vendors responding to the QSL FBO Announcement will be required to ensure that all DAPA line items/end products in the subject product line are Trade Agreements compliant. Detailed information about the QSL requirements will be provided in the QSL FBO Announcement. The purpose of this Notice of Intent to Establish a Qualified Supplier List is to inform qualified entities interested in providing these services that the release of the QSL FBO is imminent. Upon issuance of the QSL FBO, all relevant information will be available electronically on the Federal Business Opportunities website.
