- Description
- This is a sources sought notice. The Defense Logistics Agency - Troop Support is seeking sources capable of providing Wright Medical Technology orthopedic "Procedural Kits," that fall into the following product categories; Lower Extremity Implants (Foot, Toe, and Ankle), Upper Extremity Implants (Wrist, Hand, Elbow, and Shoulder), Orthobiological Products, Auxiliary Products (such as drill bits, saw blades, bone cement, etc.), and Instrumentation Sets. The product mix that makes up the "procedural kit" varies based on the individual needs of the patient. The instruments are both "used" during the surgery and returned to the vendor or purchased by the hospital so they are readily available on the shelves. All products offered must be Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved. The products that make up the "procedural kits" must be delivered via the following three delivery methods "Just-In-Time," "Direct Vendor Delivery," and "Consignment". Under "Just-In-Time" delivery, the Medical Treatment Facility (MTF) calls the manufacturer's field representative who carries the products into the MTF just-in-time for the surgery. The manufacturer's sales representative may bring many sizes and types of implants and auxiliary products to the surgery along with the instrumentation sets. Under "Direct Vendor Delivery" method an order for products is placed through ECAT and the product is delivered directly to the customer via any transportation carrier. Under the "Consignment" method, an MTF that uses a significant volume of Wright Medical Technology's "procedural kit" can request that the products be consigned to their facility. Under this method the DLA Troop Support Electronic Catalog (ECAT) will be used as an ordering mechanism only. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) will be established outside of DLA Troop Support between the local MTFs and Wright Medical Technology to cover any loss or damage to the consigned inventory. The MTFs would pay only for the "procedural kit" that are used. At the request of the MTF, the manufacturer is required to have a qualified representative on site at the MTF's within the timeframe specified by the facility necessary to meet their requirements. The manufacturer's representative provides technical advice and guidance to the physician before, during, and after implantation. Furthermore, technical support is available twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week. This is a request for information (RFI) and does not commit the U.S. Government to issue a solicitation, make an award, or pay any costs associated with responding to this announcement. All submitted information shall remain with the U.S. Government and will not be returned. Your response to this Request for Information may be submitted electronically in PDF format and emailed to john.r.jackson@dla.mil.
