The Department of Veterans Affairs, through the National CMOP Office, is conducting market research via a Sources Sought and Request for Information (RFI) for a Vendor-Managed Inventory (VMI) solution. This program supports the All-Hazards Emergency Cache (AHEC) by securing the storage, rotation, and emergency deployment of critical intravenous fluids, specifically 0.9% Sodium Chloride and Lactated Ringer's injections. The goal is to partner with industry to maintain product readiness and avoid losses from expiration and obsolescence rather than storing materials in government warehouses. The anticipated contract will consist of a base year with four option years, managing up to 150 pallet positions. Key operational requirements include a 24/7 deployment capability, with materials delivered to any VA facility or authorized partner within 24 hours of government notice. All products must maintain a minimum 12-month expiration date at the time of storage and comply with USP-NF, FDA, EPA, and 21 CFR Part 205 standards. Shipments are designated as FOB Destination, and the contractor is responsible for maintaining product viability and managing recalls in coordination with the government. Interested vendors under NAICS code 493120 must provide capability statements and administrative data to the contracting specialist to demonstrate their ability to implement and execute this end-to-end logistics and inventory management solution.
