The Department of Veterans Affairs issued Special Notice 6505 on May 29, 2020. The Notice regarded Amendment 1 to Request for Quotation 36C77020Q0399 from the VA Centralized Mail Out Pharmacy. As the needs of the VA Centralized Mail Out Pharmacy had been met for albuterol medication, the continuous RFQ process was closed and no further bids or quotes would be accepted under the original number.
Amendment 1 served to notify all potential offerors that RFQ 36C77020Q0399 was now closed to further participation. As the needs for albuterol had been fulfilled, the open RFQ mechanism was no longer necessary. No special eligibility was required as the RFQ itself was closed through the administrative amendment notice. The contracting officer, Julian Lake, posted the notice on May 29, 2020 to communicate the closure of the RFQ process to all interested parties as of that date. No additional bids or quotes for the named medication under the original RFQ number would be considered.
