A. BACKGROUND AND NEED
| 1. The purpose of this requirement is to follow guidelines set forth in Veterans Health Administration’s (VHA) Directives 1108.07(1) and 1108.01 with the intent to establish a contract with a reverse distributor with destruction capability, hereafter referred to as the Contractor, capable achieving maximum credit return and in processing any related pharmaceutical waste that may arise out of non-returnable pharmaceuticals. The Government's need for on-site and off-site processing function is imperative to assure optimum inventory control and to minimize the violation of laws and regulations, especially in the area of pharmaceutical waste disposal. The contractor shall be a Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) registered vendor and be compliant with all applicable regulations related to hazardous waste handling. |
| 2. It is the intent that an efficient returns processing method where expired pharmaceuticals shipped to a centralized reverse distributor will reduce total costs in the health care system through a system of inventory controls and report analytics, while maintaining all necessary internal controls to ensure accuracy throughout the entire process. One site visit will include returns from both Inpatient and Outpatient pharmacies. The Government will require a Contractor that can supply inventory scanning software as a service for use by the site and the vendor so a report can be generated to identify and address any item and its box location for any discrepancies so identified discrepancies can be addressed prior to expired inventory leaving the site. The Government will also require the Contractor also be the returns depot for current Prime Vendor so complete direct data from Prime Vendor can be generated with invoices so the site can review all credits provided with actual credit recovery, not estimated return value. Returns to be processed will cover expired pharmaceuticals and pharmaceuticals due to be expire within 120 days. The contractor may not hold any expired pharmaceuticals identified as greater than 120 days from expiration and must immediately destroy identified product. Payments by the Government under this contract will be made independent of the total amount of pharmaceutical credit value achieved. |
| 3. The Government requires a one-year base period with a potential five-year period of performance. The quarterly firm fixed pricing shall cover all the contractor’s costs including, but not limited to, packaging, shipping, processing, software as a service application, waste disposal, and any other applicable costs or fees incurred in performance of reverse distribution and waste disposal services. To be considered for award, offerors are required to submit a proposal for all line items for the base year and each of the four option years. Proposals that fail to include pricing for the base year and each of the four option years for all line items will be rejected and will receive no further consideration. |

Quarterly site service must be scheduled prior to the 20th of the last month of the quarter. |
| 2. The firm fixed price quarterly rate shall cover the contractor’s costs including, but not limited to, packaging, shipping, processing, software as a service application, waste disposal, and any other applicable costs or fees incurred in performance of reverse distribution and waste disposal services. |
| 3. Within 15 days from receipt of award, the VA Contracting Officer shall be notified by the contractor awarded a contract under this solicitation if any business-to-business-agreements cannot be reached with the VA PPV. Failure or refusal to reach agreement with the VA PPV shall constitute sufficient cause for terminating the contract under Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 52.212-4(m), Contract Terms and Conditions-Commercial Items, Termination for Cause unless such failure is unintentional and for valid and justifiable reasons despite good faith discussions. |
| 4. The Contractor is encouraged to establish a working relationship with each manufacturer and comply with each manufacturer’s return goods policy to ensure maximum credit receipt and reduce the cost of returning non-returnable items. The Contractor is responsible for contacting the manufacturer to ensure that credits are received in accordance with the negotiated timeframe stated in each return goods policy and to assist in resolving issues of inadequate or non-payment of outstanding credits. If manufacturers have an established reverse distributor that handles their credit and return process, the awarded Contractor shall make every effort to work with these reverse distributors that have current agreements directly with the manufacturers. The quarterly rate for services is fixed and there will be no adjustments based on credits received. |
NOTE: There may be instances where more favorable return good policies have been negotiated on Federal Government contracts. To take advantage of more favorable return policies, the Government Contracting Officer will assist in providing a copy of the negotiated agreement(s) to the Contractor. There may be manufacturers that will only accept returns directly from the facility and will only provide credits through their own reverse distributor. If known, the Contractor shall identify in its proposal, those manufacturers that will not accept products through this Reverse Distribution Program.
5. To ensure adequate tracking of credits from inception to disposition, the Contractor shall make available the PPV confirmation of itemized credit statements received from the manufacturers at least monthly. To ensure full visibility of all credit amounts against the item(s) credited, the contractor must also be a reverse distributor for the PPV. The contractor shall instruct manufacturers to issue all credits directly to the PPV since the PPV has credit accounts established for each authorized user of the PPV Program for purposes including reverse distribution. Any credits received by the Contractor from the manufacturer shall be forwarded to the PPV within ten (10) business days from date of receipt. In addition, each agency/facility that receives credits directly from the manufacturers as a result of reverse distribution processing will be instructed to notify the Contractor of receipt of such credits so that the Contractor can update their electronic reporting system. Credits will be deposited into the individual facility accounts by the PPV upon receipt of itemized credit statements for each individual facility provided by the Contractor. The credit statements provided by the Contractor to the PPV shall include the customer account number and appropriate invoice number to facilitate this process and for tracking purposes. Based on the above, any arrangements to facilitate the processing of credits through the PPV must be made solely between the reverse distributor and the PPV. Credits may NOT be used by VA PPV customers for additional value-added services from the Contractor, such as report customization or additional site visits.
J. PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS SUMMARY.

For the purposes of the award of this Contract, the Government intends to evaluate the option to extend services under FAR 52.217-8 as follows:
The evaluation will consider the possibility that the option can be exercised at any time and can be exercised in increments of one to six months, but not for more than a total of six months during the life of the contract. The evaluation will assume that the prices for any option exercised under FAR 52.217-8 will be at the same rates as those in effect under the contract at the time the option is exercised. The evaluation will therefore assume that the addition of the price or prices of any possible extension or extensions under FAR 52.217-8 to the total price of all proposals relative to each other, and will not affect the ranking of proposals based on price, unless, after reviewing the proposals, the Government determines that there is a basis for finding otherwise. This evaluation will not obligate the Government to exercise any option under FAR 52.217-8.
