This federal contract award, valued at $224,964.36, was issued by the Department of Health and Human Services' Indian Health Service (IHS) to the prime contractor Mckesson Corporation, doing business as Mckesson Drug Company. The contract is a delivery order awarded under an existing indefinite-delivery vehicle, and does not have a set-aside designation.
Mckesson, a healthcare services and information technology company, has provided over $5.8 million in pharmaceutical products such as penicillin injections and alvimopan capsules to the IHS and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) under prior contracts. This award is part of a larger $675 million, seven-year National Supply Service Center prime vendor blanket purchase agreement Mckesson holds with the IHS to furnish pharmaceutical supplies not available under the VA's pharmacy prime vendor program. The contract allows the IHS to rapidly procure essential medical supplies to continuously serve Native American populations reliant on the agency for healthcare services.
