Further information regarding this event will be forthcoming. This is a mark your calendar announcement. ----- Synopsis of proposed acquisition The USMC has an ongoing requirement to provide health care services to all of its deployed members, as part of its commitment to meet operational requirements and for the general health and well being of its forces. These services include preventive medical and dental care and critical medical care. To meet this requirement, the USMC provides its Medical and Dental Battalions and unit medical personnel with authorized medical and dental supplies and equipment (Class VIII equipment) necessary to treat patients in operational and field environments. Historically, this service has been managed directly by the Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC) Family of Field Medical Equipment (FFME) within PM CBRN Systems. In an effort to improve these services, and to conserve scarce Marine Corps resources that would otherwise be required to execute this process, PM CBRN Systems has elected to outsource the procurement, supply chain management, and associated support activities through a prime vendor contract to procure equipment contained in the USMC Authorized Medical Allowance Lists (AMALs), Authorized Dental Allowance List (ADALs) and medical kits. AMALs and ADALs are highly specialized capability sets comprised of Class VIII (DoD classification for medical materiel to include medical peculiar repair parts) materiel. The FFME Team, PM CBRN Systems centrally manages and controls the configuration of AMALs and ADALs and medical kits for the Marine Corps. The USMC currently maintains 30 separate AMALs/ADALs and four medical kits. Each AMAL/ADAL and medical kit contains a list of specific commercially available equipment, supplies, repair parts, tools, and Test, Measurement and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE) to provide a specific medical capability. The Government requires performance of a broad set of tasks relating to AMAL and ADAL and medical kit procurements and management, including, but not limited to: maintaining awareness of contents and changes to AMAL/ADAL equipment lists supply chain management online catalog, delivery order preparation and total asset visibility system procurement of AMAL/ADAL equipment and supplies customer support services regulatory and safety services equipment calibration, maintenance, repair, shelf life and lifecycle management Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) warranty management meetings and reviews At this time, the Governments contracting strategy entails award of a single prime vendor type contract, 3 years duration, approximately $100 Million, Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ), with Firm Fixed Price (FFP) delivery orders for AMAL/ADAL and medical kit equipment, and time and materials for prime vendor services and support. A draft Request for Proposals (RFP) will be forthcoming within the next two (2) weeks, and announced on this site. Interested companies will be provided an opportunity to review the draft RFP and provide comments and questions that will discussed at the pre-solicitation conference. Additional background information will also be provided as the process evolves. Technical Point of Contact: allen.schweizer@usmc.mil Contracting Point of Contact: peter.wallace@us.army.mil
