Kidney Dialysis Concentrates for Deer's Head Hospital

The Maryland Department of Health (MDH), specifically Deer's Head Hospital Center (DHHC) located in Wicomico County, is seeking an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for Kidney Dialysis Concentrates through the Office of State Procurement (OSP). The procurement is for an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ), fixed-price contract to supply various kidney dialysis concentrate products, including liquid acid concentrates and powder bicarbonate bags. The estimated quantities range from 130 to 960 units across four line items, with a two-year contract term and no renewal options. A virtual pre-bid conference is scheduled for October 29, 2024, and the bid submission deadline is November 18, 2024. The primary evaluation criterion will be the lowest total bid price, with the award being made to the most responsible bidder who meets all solicitation requirements. Bidders are expected to provide comprehensive pricing for the full two-year base term and demonstrate the ability to consistently supply the specified kidney dialysis concentrate products.

This solicitation does not include specific set-aside designations for Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) or Veteran-Owned Small Business Enterprises (VSBE), and it is not designated as a Small Business Reserve (SBR) contract. There are no federal funding requirements associated with this procurement. While specific incumbent vendors are not mentioned, potential bidders must be capable of providing high-quality kidney dialysis concentrates that meet the Maryland Department of Health's specifications. The contract does not appear to require complex technological integration, focusing instead on the straightforward supply of medical concentrate products. Although a precise budget range is not specified in the documents, the estimated quantity ranges suggest a moderate-value contract that would be suitable for medical supply vendors specializing in dialysis concentrates. Interested vendors are encouraged to review the detailed solicitation documents and participate in the pre-bid conference to fully understand the procurement requirements.
