To be eligible for the list, vendors must maintain an active status in the System for Award Management and possess a Commercial and Government Entity code. Participants are required to have or be obtaining a Distribution and Pricing Agreement and separate commercial agreements with prime vendors such as Cardinal Health and Owens & Minor.
