The Durable Medical Equipment (DME) 2012-2016 Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) procurement vehicle designed to support disaster response missions across the United States. The vehicle enables rapid acquisition of medical equipment kits that can be deployed quickly to incident support locations during emergency situations. These medical equipment kits are standardized packages containing essential durable medical supplies necessary for immediate response and support during disaster relief operations.
Task orders under this IDIQ consistently demonstrate a pattern of small, targeted equipment acquisitions ranging from $6,500 to $19,300, with firm fixed pricing and short completion timelines typically under 60 days. The contract vehicle exclusively utilized total small business set-aside designations, with prime contractors including Management & Technology Solutions Inc. (a veteran-owned small business) and Jassan, Inc. (a woman-owned small business). Delivery orders have been executed for incident support locations including Guam, Frederick (Maryland), Cumberland (Maryland), Atlanta (Georgia), and were particularly active in the context of Hurricane Sandy response efforts. Each task order involves the procurement of one to three standardized durable medical equipment kits, suggesting a modular and flexible approach to emergency medical logistics support.
