AI Contract Overview
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) National Acquisition Center plans to issue Request for Proposal (RFP) number 36E79726R0006 for the procurement of Ustekinumab pens/syringes or FDA-approved biosimilar products. This unrestricted solicitation encompasses supply for multiple federal healthcare entities, including the VA (covering Consolidated Mail Order Pharmacies and State Veterans Homes), Department of Defense, Bureau of Prisons, Indian Health Service, and Federal Health Care Centers. The contract will be awarded to one responsible offeror capable of providing a reliable and uninterrupted source of supply for the specified items. The award will be for a one-year base period with four pre-priced option years, totaling a potential five years of contract performance. Distribution of awarded products is required exclusively through the VA's and DoD's Pharmaceutical Prime Vendor Programs. The solicitation includes three primary product line items differentiated by strength and packaging formats (syringe and vial), with estimated annual requirements ranging from approximately 2,900 to 45,700 units depending on the dosage form. Offerors must provide the exact drug name as it appears on the label, carry a unique National Drug Code (NDC) exclusive to their product, and must not relabel or overlay any existing manufacturer labeling. If both syringe and vial forms exist commercially for a given strength, offerors are required to offer both at the same price with no price differentiation allowed. Biosimilar products must be FDA-licensed under the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. § 262), must meet all statutory biosimilarity criteria, and be listed in the FDA’s Purple Book as comparable to the innovator product. The procurement follows commercial item acquisition procedures under FAR Part 12 with the solicitation to be issued electronically via SAM.gov around January 12, 2026, and proposal submissions closing by January 27, 2026. No paper copies or telephone requests for solicitation documents will be entertained, emphasizing electronic access and submission. Christopher Carthron is the designated Contract Specialist and sole point of contact for all procurement communications. Specific details on pricing, evaluation criteria, and inspection/acceptance locations are not provided in the pre-solicitation notice, although standard FDA regulatory compliance and labeling requirements form key performance and quality standards.
