PHARM MANUF/DISTR DIV - FSA

The solicitation SPE2D2-26-R-0007 seeks Fingolimod 0.5 MG capsules in 30-count bottles under a firm-fixed-price requirements contract with a one-year base period and four optional one-year extension periods, allowing for a maximum five-year term. The procurement is administered by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and is intended to establish a supply source for the Prime Vendor Program, requiring the contractor to enter into business-to-business agreements with both DLA and VA prime vendors. The product must adhere to stringent packaging and labeling specifications, including child-proof closures, cylindrical 100cc non-glass bottles with a minimum 5.75-inch circumference, compatibility with automated dispensing systems like Baxter ATC Canisters and OptiFill, and GS1-128 or HIBC-compliant barcoding with a 0.5-inch safety margin for expiration and lot data. All packages must include NDC, lot, and expiration information, and the contractor must provide FDA approval documentation via NDA or ANDA, declare whether they are the manufacturer or distributor, and supply the manufacturing facility’s details if acting as a distributor. Proposals must be submitted electronically via DIBBS by July 9, 2026, at 3:00 PM EST, and must include two volumes: a non-price section with completed SF 1449, country-of-origin trade agreements charts, FDA warning letter disclosures, and representations, and a price section with unit pricing per bottle for the base and all four option years. The evaluation follows a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable model, where technical compliance and past performance are pass/fail criteria; failure in either results in overall rejection regardless of price. The awarded contract will also include a 0.5 percent cost recovery fee payable quarterly to the U.S. Treasury, with sales reports containing NDC, quantity, unit price, extended price, invoice, ship date, prime vendor, distribution center, and customer information. Contractors must maintain current SAM registration with a Unique Entity Identifier and EFT payment setup, and large businesses must submit a subcontracting plan. Special requirements include compliance with DFARS prohibitions on covered telecommunications equipment, prohibitions on internal confidentiality agreements, contractor ethics codes, and representations related to foreign ownership, Buy American provisions, and trade agreements. Contract administration occurs through the same office responsible for the solicitation, with no government involvement in prime vendor financial disputes and chargebacks managed directly between
