Evaluation
After the lead MMESO receives all information required above, they will send each vendor making a complete and approved submission a written request to provide product samples to the Evaluation Site Leader (ESL) at the participating MTFs. MTF "Ship to" Addresses will be provided as part of the request. To ensure your eligibility to participate, all products required for evaluation must be shipped no later than 14 calendar days from issuance of the MMESO's request and must arrive at all designated MTFs no later than 5:00 PM local time at delivery location, 20 calendar days from issuance of the MMESO's request. Products received after the stated date and time will not be included in review to establish the QSL nor will these products participate in the subsequent Standardization Action. The late arrival products will be destroyed upon receipt.
Vendor will provide only the following products for evaluation. The products will be provided at no cost to the government for products or delivery, and unused products will not be returned. A minimum of ten (10) each of commercially packaged items listed below are to be provided to each of the evaluation sites as requested by the Lead MMESO. Vendor will be required to supply the same part number(s) submitted in the QSL FBO Package Worksheet.
Items for Evaluation
1. DISPOSABLE LABORATORY COAT KNIT COLLAR WHITE EXTRA LARGE (XL)

There will be approximately 5 MTFs enterprise-wide that will be evaluating products.
The MMESO Evaluation Site Leader will review the responses from the vendors and the results from the product evaluations and determine which vendors meet the requirements. A vendor who provides all requested information and meets the requirements will be selected for inclusion in the QSL. Vendors will be notified of whether they met or did not meet the QSL requirements by approximately May 2018.
