B.2 Pharmaceutical Statement of Requirements
VA FORM 2237 #760-18-2-050-0442
I. DELIVERY TERMS
1. The Government reserves the right to cancel any quantities NOT delivered on or before the required date as specified in solicitation and purchase order.
2. All products supplied under this contract must be shippable by the United States Postal Service (USPS) unless specifically identified otherwise by the vendor and accepted by the Contracting Officer. Failure of the vendor to notify the Contracting Officer of the non-shippable status of a product (usually due to flammability) will result in cancellation or return of the product at the offeror’s expense. “Shippable” means the product must able to be shipped by the USPS when the Consolidated Mail Outpatient Pharmacy (CMOP) issues it to a patient. It DOES NOT mean that the product supplier must ship the product to the CMOP via USPS. The most cost effective method of shipping should be used for initial delivery to the CMOP.
3. For reconciliation purposes, all shipments must reference the original VA obligation number (i.e., 770A712345) even if purchased product is from another partnered company. This obligation number is referenced by CMOP receiving facility to verify receipt of items, and by the VA Fiscal Service Center to pay invoices submitted by vendor.
4. Deliveries are to be coordinated by shipper with receiving CMOP facilities) to ensure deliveries occur within operational hours.
5. Delivery may be required to multiple delivery points as specified on solicitation and purchase order.
6. The contractor is to email tracking information to points of contact listed on Delivery Schedule in Section B of the solicitation and purchase order upon shipment of products. TBD@va.gov.
II. ADDITIONAL TERMS PROPOSED BY CONTRACTOR:
1. Any alternate National Drug Codes (NDCs) that vendors wish to quote shall be listed on the attached quote spreadsheet (where applicable).
2. Acceptance prior to purchase order of any vendor-quoted NDC or Universal Product Code (UPC) shall be contingent on CMOP approval.
3. If a line item indicates more than one NDC/UPC, vendor SHALL specify which NDC/UPC is used when quoting. If offering an alternate, vendor MUST indicate proposed alternate on the attached quote spreadsheet in the column titled “ALTERNATE NDC (PKG SZ)” and indicate bottle size in parentheses (i.e., 500 CT). ALL OFFERS SHALL BE SUBMITTED ON THE ATTACHED QUOTE SPREADSHEET.
4. If the pre-approved alternate NDC is provided by the vendor, and if the unit size is different from the original unit requested, then the vendor must also adjust the final quantity accordingly. For example: Solicitation is for 100 quantities of 1000 CT bottles. Vendor submits quote for 500 CT. Quantity would need to be changed to 200.
5. The quoted alternate terms or conditions shall be reviewed by the Contracting Officer and, if accepted, shall be included in the resulting purchase order. Alternate terms and conditions quoted elsewhere will not be considered, and will not be included in any resultant purchase order.
III. BAR CODING
1. All pharmaceutical products provided under the resulting purchase order shall include bar code labeling at the unit-of-use package level. The bar code labeling must be in a linear format that conforms to all GS1-128 (formerly EAN.UCC) or Health Industry Business Communication Council (HIBCC), Health Industry Bar Code (HIBC) supplier labeling standards. The bar code symbology must comply with all GSI or HIBCC parameters including, but not limited to symbology type or encoded pattern, bar and space dimensions and tolerances, and allowable ratio of wide to narrow elements.
2. The bar code may be any linear bar code symbology, such as GS1-128 (formerly EAN.UCC), GS1 Data Bar (formerly RSS), or Universal Product Code (if the UPC contains the National Drug Code or NDC). The bar code must encode the NDC, either alone or within the GS1 data structure (Global Trade Item Number (GTIN)).
3. The bar code printing must be American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/International Organization for Standardization (ISO)/IEC Quality Grade C or better. Manufacturers and packagers must ensure that production runs include an initial verification check, as well as routine audits, to ensure the bar code is printed clearly and consistently to meet the quality standard of Grade C or better. Contractors shall be responsible for ensuring that bar code labels meet the quality requirements specified in this section prior to shipping pharmaceutical products to any authorized ordering activity under this contract.
4. The bar code must be on the outside container or wrapper of the medication as well as on the immediate container, unless the bar code is readily visible and machine-readable through the outside container or wrapper. When the bar code is not easily machine-readable through the overwrap, the overwrap must contain the bar code.
5. The bar code must go on each cell of a blister pack. Furthermore, the bar code must remain intact under normal conditions of use; thus, it must not be printed across the perforations of a blister pack.
6. When applicable to the symbology used, bar codes shall be surrounded by sufficient quiet zone so that the bar code can be scanned correctly. Bar code placement shall minimize curvature of the bar code. For example, bar codes should be placed in “ladder orientation” on vials or bottles to minimize curvature of the bar code. Bar code labeling shall not be placed solely on outer packaging.
7. It is recommended that bar code labeling also include the lot number and expiration date. If two separate distinctive bar codes are used, one for NDC and the other for lot number/expiration date, the lot number and expiration date bar code must not be in close proximity to the NDC barcode or in a format that may be confused with the NDC bar code. When applicable, all Healthcare Distribution Management Association (HDMA) guidelines shall be followed.

SECTION E - SOLICITATION PROVISIONS
E.1 52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS—COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 2017)
(a) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and small business size standard. The NAICS code and small business size standard for this acquisition appear in Block 10 of the solicitation cover sheet (SF 1449). However, the small business size standard for a concern which submits an offer in its own name, but which proposes to furnish an item which it did not itself manufacture, is 500 employees.
(b) Submission of offers. Submit signed and dated offers to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. Offers may be submitted on the SF 1449, letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. As a minimum, offers must show—
(1) The solicitation number;
(2) The time specified in the solicitation for receipt of offers;
(3) The name, address, and telephone number of the offeror;
(4) A technical description of the items being offered in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements in the solicitation. This may include product literature, or other documents, if necessary;
(5) Terms of any express warranty;
(6) Price and any discount terms;
(7) "Remit to" address, if different than mailing address;
(8) A completed copy of the representations and certifications at FAR 52.212-3 (see FAR 52.212-3(b) for those representations and certifications that the offeror shall complete electronically);
(9) Acknowledgment of Solicitation Amendments;
(10) Past performance information, when included as an evaluation factor, to include recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items and other references (including contract numbers, points of contact with telephone numbers and other relevant information); and
(11) If the offer is not submitted on the SF 1449, include a statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation. Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.
(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.
(d) Product samples. When required by the solicitation, product samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt of offers. Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned at the sender's request and expense, unless they are destroyed during preaward testing.
(e) Multiple offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions, including alternative line items (provided that the alternative line items are consistent with subpart 4.10 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation), or alternative commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.
(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers.
(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.
(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is "late" and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and—
(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or
(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or
(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.
(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.
(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.
(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.
(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers. Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.
(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.
(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified. The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the offer.
(i) Availability of requirements documents cited in the solicitation.
(1)(i) The GSA Index of Federal Specifications, Standards and Commercial Item Descriptions, FPMR Part 101-29, and copies of specifications, standards, and commercial item descriptions cited in this solicitation may be obtained for a fee by submitting a request to— GSA Federal Supply Service Specifications Section Suite 8100 470 East L'Enfant Plaza, SW Washington, DC 20407 Telephone (202) 619-8925 Facsimile (202) 619-8978.
