The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical has awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract to Medtronic USA Inc. to establish a Manufacturer Direct Program for cardiovascular procedural packages. The contract has a potential value of $113,044,920 over five years.
Under the contract, Medtronic will provide cardiovascular "procedural packages" to Department of Defense research centers, hospitals, and clinics. The packages include all cardiovascular products and accessories needed for surgeries, with contents varying based on individual patient needs. Technical support will be available 24/7. Medtronic will load products into the Electronic Catalog system and all transactions will be electronic. On-site personnel will also be available to advise physicians before, during, and after device implantation.
The original solicitation sought to establish this arrangement to automate the business process for these packages using an electronic commerce solution, as Medtronic is currently the sole provider that can meet military treatment facilities' needs for complete procedural packages through all three of the Medical Electronic Catalog, sales representatives, and direct control over product knowledge. The contract aims to streamline procurement of these specialized packages for cardiac procedures.
