Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Defense Health Agency (DHA) Medical Logistics Division and Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Medical/Surgical Prime Vendor program are preparing to establish a Qualified Suppliers Listing (QSL) for Paneled Warming Blankets designed to prevent hypothermia in shock, trauma, and post-operative patients. These specialized blankets feature four to six active heat-producing panels activated by oxygen, designed for single patient use and resistant to wind and fluids. Vendors interested in participating must have or be in the process of obtaining a Distribution and Pricing Agreement (DAPA) and a commercial agreement with current Medical/Surgical Prime Vendors such as Cardinal Health and Owens & Minor. To be eligible, vendors must have an active System for Award Management (SAM) registration, provide a Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code, and ensure products are manufactured in a Trade Agreements Act (TAA) Compliant Country. The QSL Announcement is anticipated to be released on SAM.gov on or about December 12, 2024, with the primary objective of soliciting information and products for comprehensive evaluation.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designations for this procurement. While specific award values are not detailed, the opportunity is part of the broader Medical/Surgical Prime Vendor (MSPV) program executed by DLA Troop Support's Directorate of Medical Materiel. The procurement will result in a Standardization Action (SA) and subsequent Incentive Agreement (IA), focusing on medical warming blankets with specific technical requirements including oxygen-activated heating panels and fluid resistance. All proposed items must be on DAPA for the DLA Troop Support MSPV program, with manufacturers required to complete TAA Certification. The blankets come in various sizes and are intended for use in non-hospital and post-operative hospital settings, highlighting the critical medical nature of this procurement. Vendors should note that this is an informational notice, and no responses or inquiries are appropriate at this time until the full QSL Announcement is released.
