Scope: The VA Portland Health Care System Pharmacy Service would like to have access to software program for both the Portland and Vancouver Pharmacy sites. Specific Tasks: The VA Portland Health Care System Pharmacy Service requires a web based software program for turning in drugs for destruction when they expire, when they need to be returned for credit or when they are no longer needed. The software program should allow Pharmacists and Technicians within Pharmacy service the ability to enter the National Drug Code (NDC) of the drug, drug name, manufacturer, lot number, expiration date of the drug, the Drug Enforcement (DEA) schedule of the medication, the quantity and the reason for the destruction or removal from pharmacy. The software program must retain this information for up to 5 years. Reports may be generated from the company and be sent to Pharmacy Service leadership quarterly. The software program needs to provide Pharmacy Service instructions on where to mail creditable drugs for processing. In other words, the software needs to direct Pharmacy Service to a reverse distributer who will take back creditable drugs at no additional cost or to the original manufacturer. Performance Monitoring (if applicable): Software updates must be done monthly. Reports will be sent to the Pharmacy quarterly. Place of Performance: Veterans Affairs, Portland Health Care System Outpatient and Inpatient and Vancouver Outpatient Pharmacies Period of Performance: 01/01/2024 12/31/2024
