--Vendor Day 2008

The contract announces a cooperative venture led by military service medical logistics agencies at Fort Detrick, Frederick, MD, aimed at organizing a series of Vendor Day events throughout 2008. These events provide opportunities for vendors of medical equipment and supplies to showcase their products to multiple military service organizations simultaneously. Vendor Day sessions are hosted at the Odom Fitness Center (Building 1507) on Fort Detrick and are scheduled on four specific dates, each focusing on a different category of medical products and services. The March event centers on En Route Trauma Care, featuring specialized MEDEVAC and ground evacuation equipment. The May session targets First Responder Emergency Trauma Care products, while the September event, labeled Distributor Day, permits distributors to display up to six top new products. The final event in November is dedicated to medical-surgical consumable products, with a request that returning vendors avoid repeating previously shown items. Each event runs from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., and specific points of contact are provided for inquiries related to each session. Additional details regarding registration, directions, and other key information are accessible through an official Fort Detrick web page. This initiative fosters collaboration between vendors and military medical services by efficiently consolidating product displays to better support the needs of battlefield and emergency medical care providers.
