The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has awarded Chiesi USA Inc., a foreign-owned for-profit pharmaceutical company, an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contract valued at up to $27.7 million for Pharmaceuticals and Drugs (FSS-61-IB). Under this contract, the VA has issued multiple firm fixed price delivery orders to Chiesi USA Inc. for the supply of deferiprone tablets in 1,000 mg doses to VA networks and facilities, including VISN 5, VISN 12, and VISN 22, to support VA healthcare programs for veterans. Additionally, the VA's National Acquisition Center has established a $2.25 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with Chiesi USA Inc. under the same FSS-61-IB contract to streamline the procurement of the pharmaceutical products Ferriprox and Revcovi. These contracting mechanisms allow the VA to efficiently acquire critical pharmaceutical products from Chiesi USA Inc. to address the healthcare needs of veterans. The task orders and BPA awarded to Chiesi USA Inc. are for the delivery of pharmaceutical products, primarily deferiprone and Ferriprox, to VA locations in Cary, North Carolina. No set-aside designations were applied to these awards, which have firm fixed pricing and performance periods ranging from May 2021 to August 2025. By leveraging Chiesi's FSS contract, the VA is able to streamline the acquisition process and ensure the reliable supply of these essential medications to support its medical programs for veterans.
