65--INFUSION SET,HIGH FLOW

DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY.TROOP SUPPORT MEDICAL.DLA TROOP SUPPORT · Response deadline: Wed, 21 Oct 2026

What the government is buying

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support is procuring medical supplies under classification code 65, specifically infusion sets designated for high-flow applications. This falls under NAICS code 339112, which covers surgical and medical instrument manufacturing. Infusion sets are standard medical devices used to deliver fluids, medications, or blood products to patients intravenously, with high-flow variants typically designed for rapid volume resuscitation, emergency care, or situations requiring elevated delivery rates.

As a Combined Synopsis/Solicitation, this notice serves as both an announcement of the requirement and the formal solicitation document—meaning the government may proceed directly to award based on responses received without issuing a separate follow-up solicitation.

Key facts

Who can bid

This solicitation has no set-aside designation, meaning it is open to all responsible offerors regardless of business size. Both large and small businesses may compete, including manufacturers of medical devices and distributors who can meet the technical and quality requirements.

Given the medical device classification and DLA's role in supplying military healthcare facilities, offerors should expect stringent requirements around:

• FDA registration and compliance with medical device regulations (21 CFR)
• Quality management systems (typically ISO 13485 for medical devices)
• Unique Device Identification (UDI) and labeling standards
• Potential Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) clauses for defense-critical items

Small businesses in the medical supply space should carefully evaluate whether they can meet volume, packaging, and distribution requirements typical of DLA medical contracts, which often involve stocking and delivery to military treatment facilities worldwide.

How to put together a competitive bid

For medical device procurements, competitive bids typically differentiate on:

Technical compliance. Ensure your infusion sets match the exact specifications for high-flow performance—see the solicitation for flow rate parameters, connector types, and sterility requirements. DLA often references specific product descriptions or National Stock Numbers (NSNs); verify your product cross-references accurately.

Past performance and quality history. DLA evaluates contractor performance through systems like PPMS (Past Performance Management System). Document any prior government medical supply contracts, FDA inspection history, and recall records.

Pricing strategy. Without a set-aside, you'll compete against large medical device manufacturers. Small businesses should evaluate whether they offer specialized configurations, faster delivery, or lifecycle cost advantages that offset any volume-based price premiums.

Packaging and marking. Military medical supplies must conform to DLA packaging requirements, often including specific labeling for shelf-life items, temperature-sensitive storage, and unit-of-issue configurations for field medical sets.

Readiness to accept DLA terms. Review payment terms, electronic data interchange (EDI) requirements, and potential long-term contract arrangements if this seeds a broader procurement vehicle.
