DHS Medical Supplies BPA 2010-2014

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Medical Supplies Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) 2010-2014 is a master contract vehicle established to provide medical supplies for pre-hospital and emergency medical services (EMS) contexts, with a focus on supporting personnel training and medical treatment operations. The BPA is specifically designed to support DHS components, particularly in austere or remote environments, by establishing a streamlined procurement mechanism for critical medical equipment and consumable supplies. The contract enables rapid acquisition of medical kits, first aid supplies, and emergency response equipment through pre-negotiated terms.

Task orders under this BPA demonstrate a pattern of firm fixed-price purchases with moderate dollar values, typically ranging from approximately $9,000 to $50,000. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has been a prominent user of the vehicle, placing orders for consumable medical supply kits in support of disaster response programs. Small businesses like CPR Savers & First Aid Supply, LLC have been successful prime contractors, delivering training aids, manikins, first aid kits, and rescue equipment. The task orders do not appear to have specific small business set-asides, indicating open competition among qualified vendors. The BPA's period of performance was relatively short, with the master agreement expiring on December 7, 2014, and individual task orders having completion dates ranging from early 2011 to late 2012.
