About this IDV
The Department of Veterans Affairs issued a Federal Supply Schedule contract to Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC on June 1, 2025, for pharmaceuticals and drugs under schedule FSS-61-IB, with a $5.84 billion ceiling through May 31, 2030. This multiple-award schedule enables Veterans Integrated Service Networks to order pharmaceutical products from Merck's pre-negotiated price list without conducting new competitions, supporting routine and emergency medication procurement across the VA healthcare system.
The schedule covers a broad portfolio of pharmaceutical and drug products, with recent ordering activity concentrated on specialty therapeutics and cancer treatments. Notable delivery orders include WINREVAIR (sotatercept-csrk) for pulmonary hypertension, supplied to multiple VA networks in amounts ranging from approximately $10,500 to $96,200 per order, and Welireg (belzutifan) for renal cell carcinoma, with repeated orders to Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 at approximately $22,000 to $22,500 each. Place of performance spans multiple Merck facilities, primarily Rahway, New Jersey and Bartlett, Tennessee, with deliveries to regional VA medical centers including Carrollton, Texas and Puget Sound.
A related Blanket Purchase Agreement for Welireg was awarded July 12, 2025, valued at $72.5 million through July 11, 2027, exercising an option year under the parent FSS-61-IB schedule. The source documents ordering activity from June 2025 through September 2026, reflecting continuous replenishment demand across multiple VA Veterans Integrated Service Networks. All delivery orders carry firm fixed pricing with no set-aside designation.
