First Aid Kits for Military Vehicles

The State of Maine is requesting quotations for general purpose first aid kits for military vehicles to supply the Maine Military Authority (MMA) facility at Limestone, Maine, with proposals due December 27, 2010. The procurement is subject to Buy American Act compliance.

Kits must be ANSI Z308.1-2009 certified and housed in plastic cases measuring 7.5" × 4.5" × 2.75", with contents specified by National Stock Number. Bidders may offer basic ANSI-compliant kits or expanded "Plus Kits" with additional optional items; award goes to the bidder offering the best overall value. The estimated 12-month purchase volume ranges from 400 to 600 units, with an immediate initial order of approximately 140 units followed by replenishment orders based on operational requirements.

Bidders must pass screening through the federal Excluded Parties List System (EPLS) and provide DUNS number, Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code, and complete legal company name. Sample items may be required prior to award. All pricing must include freight and delivery to Limestone, Maine, with prices fixed throughout the contract term unless periodic changes are agreed to in writing. The contract is for one year with an extension clause permitting the State Director of the Division of Purchases to extend beyond expiration with contractor consent.

Orders will be transmitted via email using Delivery Order (DO) documents, with shipments generally accepted only up to two weeks ahead of stated delivery dates. The State reserves the right to modify or cancel orders not delivered as scheduled and to cancel the contract with thirty days' written notice. Vendors must certify they are not debarred, suspended, or otherwise ineligible under federal or state law and have not been convicted of enumerated offenses within the preceding three years.
