AZITHROMYCIN TABLETS

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under the base contract SPE2DX25D8022 to Cardinal Health, Inc. (CAGE 00E55), a certified small business, for the supply of 6 bottles of Azithromycin Tablets (NSN 6505014491635) at a total price of $281.94. The order was issued under commercial item acquisition procedures governed by FAR 52.212-4 and 52.212-5, with the award date set for July 15, 2026, and delivery required FOB destination to a U.S. Navy vessel at FPO AE 09570. The contractor is responsible for all transportation costs and risks until receipt at the destination, and the Government will conduct final inspection and acceptance at that point. Packaging must support secure and traceable transport, and parcel post is prohibited; no specific MIL-STD requirements, bar-coding standards, or preservation methods are outlined, though all shipping documentation must reference the contract and delivery order numbers. Payment will be processed by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, with remittance directed to Cardinal Health’s address in Dublin, Ohio. The contract contains no technical evaluation factors or performance incentives, and the award was likely made on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis given the low value and absence of detailed evaluation criteria. Contract administration is overseen by the DLA Troop Support, Medical Supply Chain FSB in Philadelphia, with assigned points of contact for inquiries and support. The base contract has a ceiling value of $20 million, indicating this is one of potentially many delivery orders under an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity vehicle. The contractor’s small business status is affirmed in Block 11, triggering compliance obligations under the Small Business Act and SAM.gov reporting requirements, though no other socioeconomic certifications are claimed. Subcontracting activity is implied by multiple manufacturers' CAGE codes on the continuation sheet, which may trigger reporting if thresholds are exceeded. All documentation must conform to contract markings and delivery instructions, with invoices submitted per Block 18a, and no electronic invoicing systems are explicitly mandated.
