About this opportunity
The WEMT PMO of the U.S. Army Medical Command (USAMMDA) has a requirement to procure a fast-acting chemical sterilant in powder or liquid form that can be mixed with potable water to sterilize surgical instruments and other medical equipment through immersion, ideally within 10 minutes. The key requirements are that the chemical sterilant must be FDA-cleared and EPA-approved, be reusable, and disposable as a non-hazardous liquid. The agency is seeking information from industry on their ability to provide such a concentrated chemical sterilant to reduce logistical burdens. Interested parties are requested to submit responses electronically by June 6, 2024. This is a Request for Information (RFI) issued for information and planning purposes only, and no contract will be awarded based on the responses.
This procurement does not have a set-aside designation. The applicable NAICS code is likely 325612 - Polish and Other Sanitation Good Manufacturing, and the PSC code could be 6810 - Chemicals and Chemical Products. There are no details provided on potential incumbents or current contractors, award values, or budget ranges. The key numerical details are that the chemical sterilant should be capable of sterilizing within 10 minutes.
Notice text
The WEMT PMO of USAMMDA has a requirement to provide a fast-acting chemical sterilant to medical roles and teams that lack or have limited access to electrical power and transportation. The Chemical Sterilant capability will be a powder or liquid, which when added to and mixed with potable water, will result in a liquid solution capable of sterilizing surgical instruments or other medical materiel through immersion, ideally within ten (10) minutes. After mixing, it will be reusable and disposable as a non-hazardous liquid. It will have the required approvals from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Many of the commercially available Chemical Sterilants are available, ready to use, in large volumes or require multiple hours of immersion to achieve sterilization. Sterilizers that require power with long cycle times and transporting large volumes of liquids can be logistical burdens. WEMT is requesting information from commercial markets about the ability to provide an FDA-Cleared Chemical Sterilant with a sterilization indication in a concentrated form to reduce logistical burdens. Additionally, WEMT would like to understand the potential or challenge of an FDA-Cleared Chemical Sterilant to sterilize within ten (10) minutes
