Boston Scientific's Neuromodulation "packages"

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support is seeking sources capable of providing Boston Scientific's Neuromodulation "packages". These "packages" include an implantable device, instrumentation sets and auxiliary products that are necessary for implantation of the device. The instrumentation sets are purchased and used during the surgery. All products offered must be Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved. These "packages" must be delivered "Just-In-Time", and "Direct Vendor Delivery". Under the "Just-In-Time" delivery method, the Medical Treatment Facilities (MTFs) calls the manufacturer's field representative who carries the products into the MTFs just-in-time for the surgery. The manufacturer's field representative may bring many sizes and types of implantable devices and auxiliary products to the surgery along with the instrumentation sets. Under the "Direct Vendor Delivery" method an order for products is placed through ECAT and the product is delivered directly to the customer via any transportation carrier. At the request of the MTF, the manufacturer is required to have a qualified representative on site at the MTFs within the timeframe specified by the facility necessary to meet their requirements. The manufacturer representative provides technical advice and guidance to the physician before, during and after implantation. Furthermore, technical support is available twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week. Boston Scientific's sales representatives are experts on their products and are a vital part in helping to ensure that the patient is getting the necessary treatment. Sources must have direct control over a sales force that is knowledgeable in Boston Scientific's Neuromodulation products.
