Medical Equipment ECAT   79

Solicitation RFP SPM2DH-11-R-0011 is a standing solicitation from which the Government contemplates award of contracts for items as described below.
The DLA Troop Support in an effort to improve medical supply support to our customers has developed the Electronic Catalog (ECAT) System. The ECAT System allows DLA Troop Support (CONUS AND OCONUS) customers to review and compare contractor electronic catalogs with the ultimate goal of placing on-line orders to the contractor of their choice.

DLA Troop Support military and other government customers are currently using the ECAT System to order medically related laboratory, dental and optical supplies and limited medical equipment.

This is the follow-on to our current standing solicitation number SPM2D1-07-R-0012 which closed on August 12, 2011. The objective of this solicitation is to award the next generation of ECAT contracts for Medical Equipment. This acquisition seeks to award multiple contracts to all "responsive", responsible offerors (both manufacturers and dealers). The solicitation requests contractors to provide their discounted price(s) from their commercial catalog(s) of various medical equipment items for ECAT. This solicitation will result in multiple long term contracts with a base term of 5 years. This solicitation will be standing for 5 years from the solicitation issuance date.

This acquisition seeks to award multiple IDIQ contracts. DLA Troop Support awards will be in accordance with the ECAT multi-award program complying with requirements of FAR 8.4, DFARS 208.405-70 and DLAD 8.4 to technically acceptable, responsible vendors (both manufacturers and dealers) offering Medical Equipment items at fair and reasonable prices.
