This federal Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) was awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Medical branch to Zoll Medical Corporation, a foreign-owned, for-profit manufacturer of medical devices and software solutions. The single-award IDC, valued at over $81 million, runs from September 28, 2022, through September 27, 2027, and is for the provision of medical capital equipment with no set-aside designation. Various agencies, including the DLA, Department of Veterans Affairs, and Department of Homeland Security Coast Guard, have issued numerous delivery orders to Zoll for critical emergency medical technologies such as ventilators, defibrillators, and patient monitors. The contract was established to provide sustainment of airworthy ventilators for military contingency operations, including military, humanitarian, and emergency relief efforts, enabling the rapid procurement of Zoll's products to equip military treatment facilities and maintain healthcare readiness across multiple federal agencies.
Additionally, the DLA Troop Support Medical branch has issued a Request for Information (RFI) seeking market information on field, portable emergency aeromedically certified suction devices for use in deployed environments. The key requirements include obtaining Joint Airworthiness Certification, withstanding extreme environmental conditions, and maintainability by military technicians. Respondents are asked to provide technical information, quotes, and support documentation on their capabilities, manufacturing lead times, reliability/maintainability data, environmental/durability testing, training and technical support, spare parts availability, and lifecycle costs. This RFI is an unrestricted market research effort to gather information for future acquisition planning, with no set-aside designations or identified potential incumbents or current contractors.
