Indefinite Delivery Contract 36E79721D0002

The Department of Veterans Affairs National Acquisition Center awarded Becton, Dickinson and Company a single-award indefinite delivery contract with a potential value of $1,336,976.66 to supply needles and syringes. The contract's period of performance is from December 15, 2020 through December 14, 2023, with the last date for ordering being December 14, 2023.

The contract aims to procure needles and syringes in two groups. Group A includes 16 types of non-safety needles across various gauges, lengths, bevels, and wall types. Group B includes 5 types of safety syringes and needle combos across various gauges, needle lengths, graduation scales, and volumes. The solicitation estimates annual requirements totaling over 2.5 million units. Products must be brand name or equal to PrecisionGlide, Monoject, SafetyGlide, Medline, or McKesson Medical-Surgical brands. Distribution will be through the Pharmaceutical Prime Vendor program to pharmacies within the Department of Veterans Affairs, Indian Health Service, Federal Bureau of Prisons, and Federal Health Care Centers for outpatient dispensing.

The originating pre-solicitation notice indicated plans to award either a single contract or up to two separate contracts for Groups A and B. However, the contract was ultimately awarded as a single-award IDC to Becton, Dickinson and Company to supply the estimated needle and syringe requirements across federal health agencies through the prime vendor distribution channel.
