Medical and dental supplies

The Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center has issued a Special Notice soliciting vendors for medical and dental supplies to support operations at the Armed Forces Retirement Home (AFRH) facilities. This Request for Information (RFI) is classified as market research and will not result in a contract award. The solicitation targets vendors capable of filling and refilling medical and dental supply requirements across a comprehensive inventory of 278 line items. The anticipated NAICS code is 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing), and the Product Service Code is 6515 (Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies). Responses must be submitted via email to Contracting Officer Nicole Johnson or Contracting Specialist Rebecca Fentzke no later than March 31, 2026 at 12:00 PM Eastern Time.

Vendors responding to this RFI should address organizational information including name, UEI or CAGE Code, and primary point of contact details; appropriate NAICS and PSC codes with supporting rationale; a description of organizational capabilities relative to the draft Performance Work Statement and supply list, limited to five pages; and any relevant contract vehicles such as GSA Federal Supply Schedule or GSA GWAC contracts. The contractor must establish a web-based ordering system accessible three times weekly, maintain 98% accuracy for items ordered versus received, provide quarterly inventory management recommendations, and conduct comprehensive supply management services for AFRH campuses in Washington, D.C. and Gulfport, Mississippi. All contractor employees require background security investigations including criminal background checks in multiple states, with employees remaining free of felony convictions and security-related misdemeanors. The RFI serves to identify potential sources capable of managing extensive medical and dental supply requirements while enhancing small business competition and access to acquisition information, with no government payment provided for RFI responses and no formal acknowledgment or evaluation notification guaranteed to respondents.
