The goal of the Manufacturer Direct Program is to establish an alternative to manual open market purchase activity and re-engineer the business process with an automated e-commerce business solution. The objective of this solicitation is to establish a Fixed Price (with Economic Price Adjustment) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for Boston Scientific’s neuromodulation “procedural packages”. The “procedural package” includes the implants, instrumentation sets and auxiliary products necessary for the physician to perform surgery. The solicitation contains an on-site personnel requirement for the contractor to provide advice and guidance to physicians before, during, and after implantation of the device at the request of the Medical Treatment Facility. Technical support shall be available twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week. Market research has revealed that there are no other known manufacturers or distributors other than Boston Scientific who can provide DoD hospitals with the complete "procedural package" under all three delivery methods and have direct control over a sales force that is knowledgeable in Boston Scientific's products. The Boston Scientific Sales Representatives are experts on the vendor's products and are a vital part of helping to ensure that the patient is getting the necessary treatment. Boston Scientific will have their product line loaded in the DLA Troop Support Medical Electronic Catalog (ECAT) system. All Orders, Order Confirmations, Invoices, and Payment transactions are required to be electronic. Items will be delivered to various Department of Defense (DoD) research centers, hospitals, clinics, and any federal customer participating in this program. The term of the contract will be five (5) one-year ordering periods. This procurement has an estimated value of $1.4 million for the first ordering period, $1.4 million for the second ordering period, $1.4 million for the third ordering period, $1.5 million for the fourth ordering period, and $1.5 million for the fifth ordering period, for a total of approximately $7.2 million over the five-year life of the procurement. The contract maximum is $14,379,072.00 over the five-year life of the contract. Solicitation SPE2DE-25-R-0007 is expected to be issued September 25, 2025 and can be found on the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) at https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/.
