Additional Information:
The DOD requirement for Make-to-Order (MTO) Medical Kits is being proposed for addition to the Procurement List. If approved, AbilityOne Program nonprofit agency(ies) will be designated to provide MTO Medical Kits that are specific to the needs of DLA TS Medical Supply Operations customers. MTO Medical Kits are defined as kits which are built only after receipt of a customer requisition, are customized for the customer and include shipment of the end-item. These medical kits shall consist of medical and non-medical material and equipment components, such as bandages, instruments, pharmaceuticals, portable bags, chests, etc., that may be obtained from AbilityOne and/or a wide range of commercial sources. The Government reserves the right to move MTO Medical Kits to a Make-to-Stock Kit. A Make-to-Stock kit is defined as a kit that is put into a DLA stock location after the kit has been completely assembled to be managed as a DLA item of supply. Addition of MTO Medical Kits to the Procurement List mandates that DLA TS Medical Supply Operations offer the first opportunity to provide the MTO Medical Kits to the AbilityOne nonprofit agency(ies); after having received an offer of an MTO Medical Kit opportunity, the AbilityOne Program nonprofit agency(ies) may accept or reject a requirement/offer. The AbilityOne nonprofit agency(ies) will offer government Distribution and Pricing Agreements (DAPA) pricing or better for components in the MTO Medical Kits. DLA TS Medical Supply Operations will make a fair and reasonable price determination upon receipt of each price proposed by AbilityOne nonprofit agency(ies) to provide a specific MTO Medical Kit.
