About this opportunity
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 disposable vaginal specula. The procurement will focus on single-use, sterile and non-sterile Pederson style specula in various sizes, with and without light sources, specifically excluding Graves style specula and products made with natural rubber latex. Vendors 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 like Cardinal Health and Owens & Minor. To be eligible, participants must have an active System for Award Management (SAM) registration and a Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code. The QSL announcement is expected to be released on SAM.gov on or about February 2, 2025, with the primary objective of soliciting information and products for evaluation to create a standardized supplier list.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designations for this procurement. All proposed items must be manufactured in a Trade Agreements Act (TAA) Compliant Country, with potential exceptions if no functionally equivalent item is available from a compliant source. Vendors will be required to complete a DAPA TAA Certification as part of the qualification process. The targeted medical products are intended for outpatient OB/GYN, Emergency Department, and Urgent Care visits, explicitly excluding use during surgical, laser, or electro-surgical procedures. While no specific award value or quantity is mentioned, the procurement will result in a Standardization Action leading to an Incentive Agreement under the DLA Troop Support Medical/Surgical Prime Vendor program. The comprehensive evaluation will focus on product compliance, manufacturing origin, and alignment with medical device specifications for vaginal specula.
