About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for a USMS solicitation for Narcan/Naloxone kits. The document clarifies that this is a new requirement with no incumbent or existing kits in use. Key details include that the pouch must be ranger green to match the First Spear Strandhogg Plate Carrier, with laser cut MOLLE webbing required on the back for attachment and a pull tab/webbing in front for one-handed opening. The pouch must be purpose-built to hold all contents with one-handed removal capability, though specific dimensions are not prescribed.
The document specifies that complete kits must be directly shipped to requesting USMS offices, including locations in Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, Alaska, and Hawaii. Generic substitutes for Narcan are acceptable per Section D of the SOW. Two types of restock kits are defined: Restock Kit V1 includes the interior pouch for two-piece designs, while Restock Kit V2 is for one-piece designs or when interior pouch replacement isn't needed. The face shield must be a Laderdal CPR Face Shield (Item #4600000) or equal. The estimated period of performance begins March 15, 2025, though the government is not obligated to make an award.

A. Please see attachments to the Solicitation for information.
5. Would you anticipate your contract-awardee keeping stock available for surge requirements AND/OR would you prefer specific delivery timeframe (ex. 5-7 days or 14-21 days, depending on the task order)?

A. Ranger green, match or near match to the color of the First Spear Strandhogg Plate Carrier. (you can find this online for an example of the color)

9. Is there a preference between drop shipping or direct shipping for the kits to the requesting USMS offices?
A. Complete kits shall be directly shipped to the requesting customer.
10. Section E of the SOW specifies that orders will be shipped to all requesting USMS offices (including Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, Alaska, and Hawaii) and that shipping costs must be included in the unit price. Should vendors assume these deliveries will be handled as direct shipments to individual locations?
A. Complete kits shall be directly shipped to the requesting customer.
11. Can you confirm the intended distinction between Restock Kit V1 and V2? See question 12 answer.
Specifically:
o Does Restock Kit V1 (500 units) correspond to kits without naloxone, intended to restock the 500 initial kits provided without naloxone?
o Does Restock Kit V2 (3,800 units) correspond to kits with naloxone, gloves, and face shields, intended to restock the 4,000 complete kits with naloxone?
12. Section D describes both Restock Kit V1 and V2 as including naloxone, gloves, and face shields. Could you clarify this overlap?

A. Pouch must have structure allowing one handed removal and operation of contents. The contractor is responsible for ensuring, in its design, that the pouch meets this requirement.

20. Can we price then just for the 2pack of Naloxone or does the bid have to have all components with the gloves and face shields as well?
A. The prime contractor needs to determine what is to be included in their pricing and submittal package. Read the statement of work and instructions to offerors as well as the RFQ which were all included in the original sam.gov posting. The Government does not assist contractors with their pricing submittals.
