B.2 STATEMENT OF WORK

Nitrile Examination Gloves VISN 23 requests 5 million Nitrile Examination Gloves rated for Chemotherapy drug use as per specifications listed below. This is not a request for manufacturing but a request for quantity on hand to be delivered within 90 calendar Days from order.

Quotes submitted with Free On Board (FOB) Origin terms, or that require any type of advanced contract financing or advanced payment shall render a quote not technically capable and not eligible for award. Similarly, a quote that offers an item(s) that cannot be returned to the vendor or that requires a restocking fee for returned items shall be determined as not technically capable and therefore not eligible for award. The Government has the right to refuse acceptance of nonconforming items.

The awarded vendor will have 90 calendar days to deliver the awarded quantities, or the contract will be terminated for cause and negative performance will be reflected within the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) and the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS).

If the potential Authorized Supplier is not the OEM, the Authorized Supplier must provide an Authorized Distributor Letter from the OEM that is still in effect. The Authorized Distributor Letter from the OEM shall include for each product(s) proposed authorizing the quoter as a distributor for the proposed product(s). The letter must either state specific product(s) proposed or that the quoter is an authorized distributor for all the manufacturer’s products. This letter must be on the manufacturer’s letterhead and contain the signature of an authorized official for the manufacturer. The Authorized Supplier shall maintain its Authorized Distributor status of all manufacturers and distributors of supplies throughout the life of this agreement. Failure to do so will render the quote submitted as non-responsive and not eligible for award.
