Indefinite Delivery Contract 36C24826D0009

The Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 8, a civilian component of the Department of Veterans Affairs, awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract for Emergency First Fill Pharmacy Services with a ceiling value of $2,006,759.00 and a base contract period from January 24, 2026 through January 23, 2031. The contract was designated as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside and represents a single award to a prime contractor. The scope encompasses rapid medication dispensing services to veterans requiring urgent pharmaceutical support within VISN 8's regional healthcare system, which covers integrated health services across a multi-state service area. A corresponding delivery order valued at $4,989,745.50 was issued on a firm fixed-price basis for the same services, to be performed in Valrico, Florida, supporting pharmacy operations critical to continuity of veteran care.

The underlying procurement originated from a pre-solicitation market research notice posted August 15, 2025, which sought qualified contractors capable of delivering emergency first fill prescription services under a firm fixed-price contract structure. The original solicitation outlined a contract structure consisting of a one-year base period followed by four option years, with consideration for a potential six-month additional option period, resulting in a maximum five-and-a-half-year performance window if all options were exercised. The market research phase indicated the contracting officer's intent to procure these specialized pharmacy benefit management services from small businesses, specifically designating the set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses while remaining open to considering Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, Women-Owned Small Businesses, or other small business entities based on market response and government discretion.
