About this opportunity
The Defense Health Agency (DHA) Medical Logistics Division and Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Medical/Surgical Prime Vendor program are establishing a Qualified Suppliers Listing (QSL) for dressing sponges. The QSL will include single use, sterile and nonsterile dressing sponges made of cotton and rayon, available in various sizes and plies, but explicitly excluding X-ray detectable or RFID-enabled sponges. To participate, vendors must have or be obtaining a Distribution and Pricing Agreement (DAPA) and a commercial agreement with current Medical/Surgical Prime Vendors Cardinal Health and Owens & Minor. Vendors must maintain an active SAM registration and provide a Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code. All proposed items must be manufactured in a Trade Agreements Act (TAA) Compliant Country, with vendors required to complete a DAPA TAA Certification.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designations for this opportunity. The QSL announcement will be released on SAM.gov on or about 24 April 2025, with the ultimate goal of creating a Standardization Action resulting in an Incentive Agreement within the MSPV program. While specific award values are not detailed, the initiative will cover dressing sponges across multiple product variations. Vendors must demonstrate compliance with specific regulatory requirements, including TAA compliance and active participation in the medical supply chain ecosystem. The QSL process is designed to evaluate and select qualified suppliers for future medical supply contracts, with a focus on standardizing medical materiel across defense health systems.
