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 Gauze, Petrolatum through the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website on or about 19 September 2016. This is not a request for quote or proposal. 

Examples of items for the QSL could include but are not limited to: Petrolatum Gauze that are sterile, non-adherent fine mesh, occlusive dressings impregnated with white petrolatum, a petrolatum blend, and/or 3% Bismuth Tribromophenate which remains moist, non-toxic, non-sensitizing, and non-irritating, and provides bacteriostatic action; Petrolatum Gauze which are water-in-oil non-occlusive dressings; not made with natural rubber latex.  

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. Any questions concerning TAA may be directed to Donna Raday at DLA Troop Support, [email protected], (215) 737-7885. 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 FBO website.
