The Defense Health Agency (DHA) Medical Logistics (MEDLOG) Division Medical Materiel Enterprise Standardization Office (MMESO) and Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Medical/Surgical Prime Vendor (MSPV) program anticipate issuing a Sources Sought notification for the establishment of a Qualified Suppliers Listing (QSL) for Skin Markers through the beta.SAM.gov website on or about 01 May 2025. This is not a request for quote or proposal.
Examples of items for this Skin Markers product line could include but are not limited to: single use, sterile and non-sterile devices that are used in a medical setting to clearly write on a patient’s skin (e.g., to outline surgical incisions sites, mark correct surgical site, or mark anatomical sites for accurate blood pressure measurement). Device will be nontoxic, with biocompatible ink, be non-tattooing, sufficiently permanent to remain visible after preparation of a surgical site, and not made with natural rubber latex. Skin Markers that are a part of a kit or tray would not be included in this standardization action.
The primary objective of this effort will be to solicit information and products for evaluation in order to create a QSL. The subject QSL will be the basis of a separate Standardization Action (SA) resulting in an Incentive Agreement (IA). This initiative will be part of the MSPV program which is executed by the 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 Medical/Surgical PV for each MMESO Area of Responsibility (AOR), i.e., Cardinal Health, and Owens & Minor. Vendors must validate that their account is Active in the System for Award Management (SAM) and provide Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code. For additional information regarding DLA Troop Support’s MSPV program, please access the DLA web site at https://www.medical.dla.mil.
All items proposed to be included in this QSL must be on DAPA for the DLA Troop Support MSPV program. The MSPV Program requires that all items be manufactured in a Trade Agreements Act (TAA) Compliant Country (as defined by FAR 52.225-5), unless it is determined that no functionally equivalent item is available from a compliant source. To be eligible for inclusion in the proposed QSL, all vendors are required to complete the DAPA TAA Certification. Detailed information about the QSL requirements will be provided in the QSL 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 Announcement is imminent. Upon issuance of the QSL Announcement, all relevant information will be available electronically on the beta.SAM.gov website.
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
