Inactive Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5)

This is a non-personal services contract to provide web-based access to an online document management system (DMS) subscription that provides 24/7 access to manufacturers’ instruction for use document... This is a non-personal services contract to provide web-based access to an online document management system (DMS) subscription that provides 24/7 access to manufacturers’ instruction for use documents (IFUs) for Medical/Surgical/Dental equipment and/or instrumentation including operating and service manuals for the BioMed departments use. The subscription will provide electronic copies for download or printing of the IFUs for the end users. Description of services/introduction: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to provide web-based access to an online DMS which contains manufacturers’ IFUs. The DMS subscription will be available to all authorized personnel at the Medical Treatment Facilities (MTFs), Dental Treatment Facilities (DTFs) and BioMed departments within Defense Health Agency as specified in this Performance Work Statement (PWS). The web-based DMS subscription will provide the most recent updated IFUs and Operating/Service Manuals in electronic and downloadable format for hardcopy printing as defined in this document. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this PWS. Background: There is a significant need to standardize processes for cleaning and sterilizing multiple types of medical instruments used in the MHS. Medical device manufacturers develop IFUs to document directions for use and application of surgical instruments including reprocessing instructions. Reprocessing IFUs specify cleaning instructions, specific reprocessing equipment, reprocessing times, and parameters required to adequately clean, decontaminate, and sterilize surgical instruments, tools, or equipment in the sterile processing department (SPD) of hospitals. The FDA requires manufacturer IFUs for all medical instruments distributed within the USA. Availability and use of up-to-date IFUs is a performance standard required by TJC (The Joint Commission) for accreditation compliance. Historically, each Service acquired the document management system subscription separately. Objectives: The objective is to award a 15 month bridge contract that will maintain current subscription licenses as DHA works to consolidate all requirements into a single, enterprise wide contract. Scope: This requirement is for subscriptions to a web-based manufacturers’ IFU database via a secure method of accessing the database (such as a user name and password). The web-based subscription provides the most up-to-date manufacturer’s IFU for reprocessing and sterilizing instruments.
