The Defense Health Agency (DHA) Medical Logistics (MEDLOG) Division Medical

Materiel Enterprise Standardization Office (MMESO) and the Defense Logistics Agency

(DLA) Troop Support Medical Prime Vendor (PV) Program announce a Sources Sought

notification for the creation of a Qualified Suppliers Listing (QSL) for Pediatric Diapers.

This is not a request for a price quote. The MMESO West is the lead MMESO for this

project.

These Pediatric Diapers products are for purchase by the Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs) of the Military

Health System (MHS) and for the operational assemblages of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and

Naval Expeditionary Medical Support Command (NEMSCOM) and managed regionally by MMESOs North,

South, West, Pacific and Europe, hereafter referred to as MMESOs. For information regarding DLA Troop

Support Medical’s PV program please access the DMM Online web site at https://www.medical.dla.mil.

This Sources Sought notification is intended to solicit information and products for evaluation in order to

create a QSL for Pediatric Diapers in accordance with (IAW) FAR 9.2. The QSL for Pediatric Diapers will be

established approximately 14 January 2023 and is anticipated to be the basis of a Standardization Action. All

medical consumable items on this QSL must be on a Distribution and Pricing Agreement (DAPA) for the DLA

Troop Support Medical/Surgical Prime Vendor (MSPV) Program. All participating vendors must complete the

registration in the DAPA Management System (DMS) at

https://www.medical.dla.mil/Portal/DapaMS/DapaMS.aspx and include either their DAPA number or their

Defense Medical Materiel (DMM) number as part of their QSL Package Worksheet submission. Receiving a

DMM number allows access to the DMS and is the first step to becoming a DAPA holder. DAPA holders must

be prepared to ship items to the PVs, so that the PVs may carry inventory and MTFs may designate items as

usage; therefore, standardized items may not be coded in the DMS as "drop ship only."

NOTE: It is recommended that new participants contact each PV prior to adding items to DAPA, in order to

gain a full understanding of the PV's requirements and any potential costs associated with PV handling of

those items.

If you qualify as a vendor on the QSL, you will then be invited, approximately 14 February 2023, to submit

pricing quotes and a separate screenshot of your submitted DAPA Log submission or existing DAPA base

uncommitted pricing for all required items to the MMESO POCs. Both pricing quotes and substantiating DMS

documentation will be required for eligibility to enter into an Incentive Agreement (IA) for Pediatric

Diapers. Only those vendors with an established DAPA will be eligible to enter into the subsequent IA. The

Government reserves the right to standardize or not standardize on Pediatric Diapers. The resulting IA

will not be a contract and will not constitute a guarantee of a specific volume of sales

dollars.
