A cooperative venture is being announced by the military service medical logistics agencies located on Fort Detrick in Frederick, MD. The agencies involved are:
This cooperative venture is a series of dates set aside for vendors of medical equipment and supplies only to display their products to multiple service organizations at one time. This event is referred to as Vendor Day.
The focus of these events is to assist the services’ medical logistics agencies with strategic market analysis of products and technologies that may be applicable to our austere medical environments. We do not support brick and mortar facilities in the U.S., but rather medical units located on land and ships and in challenging environmental conditions.
Vendor Days for 2012 will occur at the dates and times noted below and will take place at the Defense Medical Logistics Center (DMLC) located at 693 Neiman Street, Fort Detrick, MD in the main conference room (1E200) on the first floor.
Please Note:
Participation by a vendor does not in any way constitute approval of any product by any service organization and vendors will refrain from advertising as such. Participation by any vendor is solely at the discretion of members of the Vendor Day Review Committee. The Review Committee is made up of representatives from each of the participating organizations (listed above).
The dates, times, product categories for each Vendor Day are listed below.
It should be remembered that products need to be suitable for use in an austere environment with extreme temperature ranges possible.
The Vendor Day Review Committee reserves the right to alter the schedule as mission and circumstances dictate.
The dates for 2012 are set and as follows: (due to space limits, vendors can only attend one event a year)
Vendors are required to complete the online registration form to attend. Registration does not constitute confirmation. The Vendor will receive an email confirming registration and then after the review an email to confirm participation. The Confirmation email will include additional information, directions and tips for the day of the event.
Vendors are responsible for bringing everything they require for their displays. A table and chairs will be provided for each vendor. Tables will be assigned on a first come first serve basis. Vendors also need to bring sufficient handouts and other materials as needed. Copying services will not be available on post. Although electrical power is available to Vendors, they are reminded that they are limited to a power draw of 5 amps per vendor due to an overall limitation at the selected venue. Vendors must provide their own extension cords. Vendors must keep in mind that space is very limited and therefore must take this into consideration for display and personnel planning.
