What this contract is for

Agency: DEPT OF DEFENSE / DEFENSE HEALTH AGENCY (DHA)
Location: Various, MD
Set-aside: No Set aside used
NAICS: 339112
Scope: Federal

The Defense Health Agency (DHA) Contracting Activity, Healthcare Contracting Division – Southeast Branch 6 (Europe) is conducting market research to identify manufacturers and vendors capable of supplying commercial medical/laboratory steam sterilizers (autoclaves) meeting the requirements in the attached.

This notice is issued to determine the extent of competition available in the marketplace prior to finalizing an acquisition strategy.

DHA anticipates a requirement for fourteen (14) commercial medical/laboratory steam sterilizers across three equipment categories — Class B tabletop, large-capacity tabletop, and floor-standing hospital-grade — for use Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS) at DHA facilities in the United Kingdom, Germany, and Turkey.

All offered equipment must be FDA cleared/approved and CE marked as a medical device for steam sterilization use.

To reduce equipment and maintenance variance across the network, the Government intends to source all fourteen (14) units, across all three equipment categories, from a single manufacturer.

Respondents capable of supplying equipment satisfying the salient characteristics of ALL THREE categories described in Section 4 are considered a full-scope source for this requirement.

Vendors capable of supplying only one or two of the three categories are still encouraged to respond and should clearly identify which category or categories they can support; this information will be used to assess whether single-source standardization is achievable or whether an alternate acquisition strategy is warranted.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
