- Description
- NOTICE OF INTENT TO PROCURE A BUNDLED CONTRACT: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) will issue a request for proposal (RFP) for the following item: Prazosin HCl 1MG Cap, package size 100’s and 1000’s; 2MG Cap, package size 100’s and 1000’s and 5MG Cap, package size 100’s and 250 OR 500’s. NOTE: Where there is a choice of package size as indicated by the word “OR”, the offeror must submit a price on at least one of the two sizes indicated. Award will be made on the package size most advantageous to the Government. The estimated annual usage is 47,044 bottles. The estimated annual usage does not include DoD, IHS and BoP’s requirements at this time. Award will result in a National Contract, for mandatory use of Prazosin. This will be a negotiated solicitation resulting in a contract for 1 year plus (4) one year options. If the offeror is not the manufacturer, a copy of the signed agreement between the vendor and the manufacturer must be submitted with the proposals. The agreement must be for the maximum term of the contract. If this agreement is not provided, the vendor will be considered non-compliant and removed from consideration. Price is the most important factor. Items will be awarded as an aggregate. Vendor must state the exact name (name that appears on label) by which the drug will be supplied and have a unique NDC number. All products must have at a minimum the NDC number bar coded on each individual unit. Bar Code Validation is the process of insuring the data on a bar code label received from suppliers and vendors meet minimum requirements for font, readability, data integrity, and completeness. All bar codes received from the company must verify at a grade of C or higher Suppliers must provide bar coded product that meets these minimum requirements. Methods should be in place to report bar codes that fail validation requirements. Vendors are required to replace products that do not meet minimum validation requirements. The bar code must be in a linear format and conform to all UCC/EAN standards. This means the bar code can be any linear bar code symbiology, such as UCC/EAN-128, RSS, or UPC (if the UPC contains the NDC). Since the bar code would be a part of the drugs label issues concerning its quality and verification would be subject to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP's) Additionally, vendors should be encouraged to provide the expiration date and lot number in the bar code. The contractor must ensure delivery of the product to the Prime Vendors no later than 45 days after award. The requirements listed above are for VA, DoD, IHS and BoP. The contracted product will be automatically substituted at the PPV; all other products will be locked out for VA only. Glass bottles are not acceptable. Tablets/capsules must be compatible with automated dispensing units (Baxter ATC Canisters, OptiFill etc.) The Government reserves the right to add other package sizes to the contract at a later date when they become available or if offered in a vendor’s proposal. This will not affect the number of tablets/capsules listed in the usage requirements. All bottles of 100 tablets or less must have a child resistant closure. OFFERS ARE NOT BEING SOLICITED AT THIS TIME. A formal solicitation or request for quotations will be issued at a later date. NOTE: PRODUCT MUST BE MANUFACTURED IN A DESIGNATED COUNTRY, CARRIBBEAN BASIN COUNTRY, OR NAFTA COUNTRY, (UNITED STATES, CANADA AND MEXICO). A LISTING OF DESIGNATED COUNTRIES AND CARIBBEAN BASIN COUNTRIES MAY BE FOUND IN THE FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATIONS (FAR) PART 25.003. COMMENTS MUST BE RECEIVED NO LATER THAN AUGUST 5, 2004. For additional information regarding contracting issues please contact Sarah Sobor-Bristow, Senior Contracting Officer at Sarah.Bristow@med.va.gov or (708) 786-4934.
