This federal contract IDV is a single-award blanket purchase agreement (BPA) issued by the Indian Health Service (IHS), a civilian agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, to Mckesson Corporation. The BPA, valued at up to $710 million over seven years, allows IHS to rapidly obtain pharmaceutical products and related supplies that are not available through the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) broader pharmacy prime vendor program.
Mckesson, a large healthcare services and IT company, will provide a range of pharmaceutical items such as penicillin injections, alvimopan capsules, and other medical consumables to support healthcare services and programs for Native American populations served by the IHS. The BPA calls are firm fixed price contracts that do not utilize any set-aside designations. This contract vehicle enables IHS to streamline procurement of essential pharmaceuticals and issue rapid delivery orders to continuously serve its beneficiaries nationwide.
