The Department of Veterans Affairs National CMOP Contracting Office has issued Request for Quotation (RFQ) 36C77026Q0099 to procure miscellaneous pharmaceuticals, specifically Carboxymethylcellulose 0.25% ophthalmic solution in 15 mL bottles, for delivery to the CMOP facility located in Ladson, South Carolina. This solicitation is a small business set-aside under NAICS code 325412 for Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing and solicits price quotations from responsible sources. The delivery is required within 10 days after receipt of order (ARO), FOB destination with the vendor responsible for shipping costs. The contract expects delivery to a single CMOP location and requires submission of a signed solicitation cover sheet (SF1449), a detailed price schedule in Excel format, a valid state wholesale distributor license to ensure compliance with the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA), and a completed Buy American Certificate (FAR 52.225-2). Failure to submit any of these required documents results in technical rejection. The RFQ includes compliance with the Buy American Act and requires vendors to disclose the country of origin and manufacturer name for each product, underscoring the requirement for domestic end products or proper certification of non-domestic items. Quotation submissions must be concise, specifically address the solicitation requirements, and be emailed to the contracting specialist by March 6, 2026, with an anticipated award date shortly thereafter. Vendors are responsible for monitoring SAM.gov for amendments or updates to the solicitation. The procurement evaluation appears to follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) model, focusing on strict compliance with submission requirements, product eligibility, and pricing. While no specific packaging or inspection details are prescribed, all products must meet pharmaceutical regulatory standards, including traceability under the DSCSA. The solicitation emphasizes administrative and regulatory compliance over detailed physical product standards, with contract administration managed by the National CMOP Contracting Office, and Calvin Robinson serving as the primary submission contact. No information regarding contract value, payment instructions, or detailed acceptance criteria is provided, but delivery to the designated CMOP facility in Ladson, SC is mandated under FOB destination terms.
