The Department of Veterans Affairs National CMOP Office is conducting market research through a Sources Sought notice to identify qualified sources for Calcium 500mg/Vitamin D 500unit chewable tablets in 90-count packaging. This effort is for market research purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation or an obligation to issue a contract. Interested vendors must submit their company point of contact, SAM Unique Entity ID, and a capability statement via email to the contract specialist by October 29, 2026. The anticipated requirement involves a total quantity of 3,200 packages, delivered in monthly increments of 800 units over four months, with the first delivery due 10 days after receipt of order. Products must be sourced directly from the Original Equipment Manufacturer and possess an FDA therapeutic equivalence code of A, unless all drugs in the family group are B rated. Technical requirements include a distinct eleven-digit National Drug Code for each product, a minimum shelf life of 12 months from delivery, and specific bottle dimensions of at least 100cc with a 5.75-inch circumference and child-safety caps for packages under 500 count. Strict packaging and labeling standards apply, requiring bar codes that conform to GS1-128 or HIBCC/HIBC standards with a minimum ANSI/ISO/IEC Quality Grade C. Bar codes must be placed on both the outside wrapper and the immediate container. Shipping documentation must include the VA Purchase Order and Obligation numbers, and products must be sorted by lot number, with only one lot per box. Invoicing will be handled by the VA Fiscal Service Center, and the invoice price must strictly match the purchase order price to avoid payment delays.
