- Description
- Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Procurement and Grants Office (Atlanta), 2920 Brandywine Road, Room 3000, Atlanta, GA, 30341-4146 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is seeking potential offerors who have the capabilities of procuring Opportunistic Infection Drugs (OI) and Home Based Care Drugs & Products within and for Vietnam. The Government intends to award an Unpriced Firm Fixed-Price Purchase Order that will consist of a 6 month base period with four six month option period. The offerors will be required to undertake the product procurement through an open quotation system. The products are procured on open bid, with a minimum of three quotations required for each product. The product with the lowest cost, which can meet all of the specifications and quality requirement, is then procured. Attached A is a sample list of OI Drugs that may be required to be purchased under the purchase order. Under Vietnam law and regulation only a registered and licensed pharmaceutical distributor may undertake physical distribution of pharmaceutical products. Additionally, PEPFAR Vietnam is currently operating in 40 provinces of Vietnam with a wide geographical range from the far Northern area to the far Southern area of the country – a longitudinal spread of around 2,000 Kms. The contractor must be able to operate over a wide geographical range. The volume of medicines to be provided by PEPFAR, although small in comparison to the total country requirement, is nevertheless a significant proportion in relation to the central level public sector supply. Therefore the contractor must currently have high capacity volume capabilities and have adequate capacity to store and undertake the physical distribution volumes of medicines required by PEPFAR Vietnam. Because a number of treatment sites have very low storage capacity for medicines, it is a requirement that the contractor store medicines and undertake frequent small deliveries to the treatment sites. Further, storage is required to hold emergency stocks and buffer stocks against possible unforeseen circumstances and erratic usage patterns. It is a Ministry of Health (MoH) requirement, {Extraordinary Letter No. 6036/QLD-CL Ministry of Health, Drug Administration of Vietnam, Attention: Pharmaceutical Companies, enterprises attaining Good Practices (GPs)} that all new operations, must use only storage facilities that have ASEAN (Association of South-East Asian Nations) GSP (Good Storage Practice) certification. It is a MoH and MoF requirement that all proposed medicine distribution must be approved in advance by both Ministries. All offerors who are to procure, store and distribute medicines destined for use within the public sector of Vietnam must receive specific approval for each activity from both the MoH and MoF. Interested firms are invited to submit a statement of capability demonstrating their experience, capability and all Governmental approvals to fulfill the Government’s requirement. The statement of capabilities should be limited to five (5) pages and should include: company name, company address, contact name, contact telephone number, contact fax number, and contact email address. One copy of the capability statement must be received at the address listed below no later then 15 calendar days from date posted on FedBizOpps (July 25, 2006). Capability statements should be sent to: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Procurements and Grants Office (PGO), Mail Stop, K75 Attn: John Ebanks, Contract Specialist, 2920 Brandywine Rd, Atlanta, GA 30341-5539 or by electronic mail to egz2@cdc.gov. Responses via facsimile (FAX) WILL NOT be accepted. This synopsis is for information and planning purposes ONLY and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government, or will the Government pay for information solicited. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether more than one firm possesses the capability to fulfill the Governments requirement. A determination by the Government to compete this requirement based upon responses to this synopsis is solely within the discretion of the Government.
