About this IDV
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network 15, awarded a multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement to Optum Pharmacy 801, Inc. (doing business as Avella Specialty Pharmacy) on December 1, 2023, with a ceiling value of $4.3 million and ultimate completion date of May 31, 2026. This solicitation, posted October 12, 2023, sought contractors to provide sterile hazardous drug compounding services at the Robert J. Dole VA Medical Center in Wichita, Kansas. The contract requires aseptic compounding of chemotherapy agents and other hazardous drugs on a patient-specific basis for next-day infusion, utilizing a pre-approved formulary of over 50 common chemotherapy drugs and related supplies. No set-aside designation was used following market research that determined no eligible veteran-owned or service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses possessed the capability to meet the specialized requirements. The prime contractor operates as a 503A certified specialty pharmacy subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group Incorporated, headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, and maintains compliance with United States Pharmacopeia standards USP 797 and 800 through implementation of aseptic techniques and closed-system transfer devices to ensure pharmaceutical safety and quality for veterans undergoing oncology and infusion treatment programs.
The underlying BPA vehicle has generated four documented task orders, including a $650,000 option year one call (December 1, 2024), and two three-month extension calls valued at $150,000 each (December 1, 2025, and March 1, 2026), all performing in Wichita, Kansas. Optum Pharmacy 801, Inc. serves as the prime contractor with no identified subcontractors and maintains an extensive portfolio of similar indefinite delivery contracts and blanket purchase agreements across multiple Veterans Integrated Service Networks, demonstrating established capability to deliver specialized pharmaceutical compounding services. The contract supports critical VA healthcare operations by enabling efficient procurement and delivery of customized chemotherapy medications and hazardous sterile pharmaceutical preparations essential to veteran oncology and infusion treatment programs across the healthcare network.
