C.Instructions to Offerors If you are interested in participating in this standardization initiative, email your (1) Company name and address, (2) POC (Name and Phone Number, Fax Number, E-mail address, and your answers to the technical questions/criteria below to cynthia.ingrao@med.navy.mil no later than April 4, 2007. Please email product literature only to: Cindy Ingrao, RN, MSN at cynthia.ingrao@med.navy.mil Pat Cordier, RN, MSN, CNOR at patricia.cordier@us.army.mil Cheryl A. Janus, RN, MBA at cheryl.janus@amedd.army.mil This process will include vendor requirements of electronic responses to technical criteria, no charge samples for clinical evaluation, and submission of electronic best price offers. D. Evaluation Criteria 1.The Tri-Service Product Review Board (TPRB) is the governing board of the standardization process. This board includes clinicians and logisticians from all of the Military Treatment Facilities within the Southwest Region. They are the decision makers for this initiative. 2.Vendors will be required to provide responses to the technical criteria. The TPRB will review the responses from the vendors and determine which vendors meet the criteria and determine acceptability. Acceptability for the purpose of evaluation of the technical criteria means the responses to all questions in this section demonstrate that: 1) the vendor, who will be named the quoter, offering the quote is a distributor or manufacturer of a complete line of the subject medical/surgical consumables; 2) based on the quoter?s responses, the evaluators have reasonable confidence that the product line or products and/or services offered meet the medical standards of care of the community in which such products and/or services are applicable; 3) the quoter has or is obtaining a DAPA for the product line, products and/or services; 4) the quoter has or is obtaining an agreement covering the product line, products and/or services with Cardinal Health, the Prime Vendor for the region. After review of the technical criteria, those vendors who meet the criteria will be invited to participate in the clinical/performance evaluation. Vendors/offerors may be excluded from further consideration if they miss the deadline or receipt of samples. The TPRB will request samples from the product group to be clinically evaluated at select Military Treatment Facilities. Clinical factors will be weighted more heavily than price. All vendors who provide samples for clinical evaluation will be asked to submit best value pricing for analysis. Vendors who fail to offer discounted prices could be excluded from RIA award consideration. Pricing will be evaluated based on best value to the government and will be based on a committed volume agreement for a two-year period with (3) three possible one-year option periods (not to exceed a total of 5 years). The MTFs will evaluate the clinical/performance criteria using a Likert like format with a 1-7 scoring format (1 = Strongly Disagree; 2 = Disagree; 3 = Slightly Disagree; 4 = Undecided; 5 = Slightly Agree; 6 = Agree; 7 = Strongly Agree). The CPT has set a threshold of 4.1 for acceptability of products for standardization. All clinical criteria are weighted equally. Clinical/performance results lower than 4.1 will not be considered acceptable and will be disqualified from further consideration in the standardization process. The results of the clinical evaluation of the products are the most important factor to the TPRB when making a best value decision. The TPRB considers pricing a secondary factor. 1.
