A major portion of the requirements and items for this procurement are satisfied by the base terms an item list included in Independence Medical's FSS contract, V797D-40017.

The Veterans Affairs Medical Centers Pharmacies requires all contractor's offering direct-to-patient delivery services be approved as a health care provider for shipment of prescription medical supplies and equipment.
