B.2 STATEMENT OF WORK

A. BACKGROUND

1. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Consolidated Mail Outpatient Pharmacy (CMOP) program serves over 7 million enrolled Veterans, dispensing more than 120 million prescriptions per year for Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Centers (VAMC’s) and Community Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOC’s) throughout the United States. Currently there are a total of eight nationally located CMOP facilities that use repacked pharmaceuticals in their automated and semi-automated pharmacy systems in order to fulfill the prescription orders. CMOP has identified the continued need to receive repacked pharmaceuticals from a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) licensed repacker/distributor (contractor) of oral, solid pharmaceuticals.

2. Repackaged pharmaceuticals play a vital role in the fulfillment process by improving the efficiency of CMOP operations creating faster delivery times to our veteran patients. Fluctuations in the need for pharmaceuticals make it is difficult to determine the exact quantities that will be required during the contract term(s) however based off on historic data from the previous contract the government anticipates a need for approximately 17 million repackaged bottles per year.

B. SCOPE

The contractor shall be registered with the FDA and Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and licensed in order to repack oral, solid pharmaceuticals. In addition, the contractor shall hold a valid, current certificate from DEA for Class III (narcotic and non-narcotic), Class IV, and Class V controlled substances. The contractor shall have a minimum of two years proven past experience, as a repacker, with a repacking volume of at least 17 Million bottles of oral solid pharmaceuticals per year. The contractor shall accept shipments of Government-owned pharmaceutical drugs from an authorized CMOP or its prime vendor contractor or alternative source, repack into individual bottles per the Statement of Work (SOW), and all repacked product shall be shipped to the CMOP designated on the order. All repacking work shall be accomplished based on information provided within the task orders issued from each CMOP.

1. The contractor shall serve as a unit-of-use repacker for pharmaceuticals. Under this program, CMOP will purchase the pharmaceuticals separately from this contract, and arrange delivery of such products to the contractor for processing. The Contracting Officer (CO) or a delegated Ordering Officer (OO) within the CMOP will provide instructions to the contractor for repacking of the product into various bottle sizes. The product list may vary through the life of the contract as the CO or OO adds product and package sizes to the program. In addition to repacking of pharmaceuticals, the contractor shall be required to receive, process, and provide short-term warehousing. Government-Owned pharmaceuticals must be physically segregated from non-government product. CMOP orders shall not be co-mingled with other government or non-government orders. The contractor shall ship product FOB Destination to the ordering CMOP(s). All actions by the contractor under the awarded contract shall be in accordance with applicable FDA, DEA, EPA, Federal, State, and local codes and laws or regulations.

2. Only a warranted CO within the CMOP or a delegated OO are authorized to order repacking services under this contract. There are eight CMOP facilities and a CMOP National Office that may have delegated Ordering Officers.

3. The contractor will be required to deliver all articles that are properly ordered during the contract performance period, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract.

C. CONTRACT PERIOD

1. The contract performance period is for a one-year base period plus four one-year option periods.

2. Implementation/Transition Period is defined as the amount of time after contract award and before the contract effective date to ensure sufficient administrative time has been allowed for continuity of service in support of the CMOP program, and the change of contractors from the incumbent contractor to the newly awarded contractor. The implementation/transition period shall be no more than thirty (30) calendar days from date of contract award.

D. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

1. The contractor shall receive a bulk shipment of medications to be repackaged into smaller quantities of various sizes. The repacking contractor shall not procure the drugs to be repacked. The government shall provide the medications to be repackaged and shall be shipped directly to the contractor’s site.

2. Due to the anticipated high dollar value of the inventory’s total dollar amount, a spot inventory may be conducted on-site at the contractor’s facility by CMOP representatives and/or an independent audit firm, paid for by the government.

3. Pharmaceuticals are typically repacked into various sizes that may include, but not limited to 15 count, 30 count, 45 count, 60 count, 90 count, 120 count, 135 count, 180 count, 270 count, and 360 count. Repacked bulk sizes may include, but are not limited to 1 liter, 2 liter, 3 liter and 4 liter bottles.

4. Additional products and package sizes may be added, by modification, to the contract by mutual agreement of the contractor and the government.

5. Quantities are based on estimates and past usage; however, this does not guarantee future volume. There is no expressed or implied guarantee that the estimated quantities shall be purchased under this contract. Actual quantities may exceed or be less than those represented.

6. Historical data shows an average of 12 pallets of controlled bulk product is sent to the repacker each week equating to an average of 30 pallets of finished product that is shipped to CMOP.

7. Historical data for the past year shows that there was an average of thirty (30) shipments per month, from the repacker to the CMOP facilities.

8. The government may place one or more employees in the contractor’s facility to observe contractor’s accountability and repacking practices on behalf of the CMOP. The contractor shall provide office space for the employee(s), along with desks and chairs. Other office needs for this employee(s), e.g., IT equipment, file cabinets, telephone, office supplies, etc.), shall be the responsibility of the Government.

K. PLACEMENT OF TASK ORDERS

1. The CMOP’s are supported by the contracting office located in Leavenworth KS. A warranted CO or a delegated OO are authorized to place task orders against existing terms and conditions of the contract resulting from this solicitation. All orders shall be written and may be provided to the contractor via facsimile, email with attachments or by use of the contractor secure web-based ordering system should the Government decide to implement that method for placing orders. (See Section L. Ordering System.)

2. Individual CMOPs shall be responsible for providing repacking instructions to the contractor and are responsible for administration of their repacking orders.

3. Currently CMOP is using both a consolidated ordering function and an individual site level ordering function. The consolidated order is a high-volume repacking order being placed from the CMOP National Office with delivery to multiple CMOP facilities. Orders may also be placed by one CMOP with delivery directly to that CMOP.

L. ORDERING SYSTEM

1. The contractor must have the ability to provide CMOP with a secure web-based ordering system should the Government decide to implement that method for placing orders. Only CO’s or OO’s may be granted logins, unique for each individual. Passwords must adhere to the standards established by CMOP.

2. The ordering system shall be able to provide real-time confirmation within the system when an order is placed. The system shall cancel items that cannot be filled. The confirmation shall indicate the cancelled items.

3. When the order has shipped from the repacker, an email shall be sent to the individual placing the order unless otherwise indicated identifying the complete shipment, projected delivery date, and tracking number. This email shall also include a comma separated variable (CSV) file as an attachment, which shall include the following minimum data fields:

Invoice No.(this is the invoice number)
PO(this is the purchase order number)
NDC(this is the product NDC)
Lot number(this is the product lot number)

NOT AUTHORIZED.

5. The repacking contractor shall not procure the drugs to be repacked. Each CMOP shall provide the contractor with the drug to be repacked. The shipment of the product to be repacked by the contractor shall be arranged and underwritten by the CMOP, and shall be by a conveyance deemed appropriate by the CMOP that meets all FDA and/or USP requirements for safe and secure transit of the material. (See N. Product Handling below for information on the responsibilities toward return shipment to the CMOP.)

6. The products shall be purchased in the most economical count size. CMOP will not necessarily purchase the stock to be repacked in the largest count package available if a smaller count package is more economical.

This report shall include distribution-only product as well to reflect shipment receipt. The CO shall be consulted to establish any variation other than the 1% stated. For purposes of reporting, the week shall begin on Thursday and end at close of business Wednesday with reports due by close of business the following day.

O. ESTIMATED QUANTITIES

NOTE: It is not always possible for CMOP to obtain a single lot number for the stock to be repacked, and, small production repacking runs which can be less than 100 bottles

1. The government anticipates a total of approximately 17 million repacked bottles per year, consisting of oral, solid pharmaceutical tablets and/or capsules. This estimate is based on historic data from the previous repacking contract. The anticipated use shall include, but not be limited to, bottle counts previously stated. Estimated quantities are anticipated to remain stable for the base year.

2. During option years there is likelihood that the volume may change, upward or downward, although total change cannot be estimated due to the size of the served patient population being in constant flux and other variable factors, including but not limited to fluctuations in need for repacking certain oral solid pharmaceuticals which could be based on alternative availability. Therefore, it is impossible to determine the exact quantities that shall be required during the contract term, nor the quantities that may be required by each CMOP.

3. The following is an estimated volume, based on historic data, for each bottle size been used in prior repacking activity. Past use does not guarantee future volume, although it shall show an approximate relative pattern of the usage per size. The volume below is based on usage averages and will not total 100%.

120cc Bottles: > 70%, estimated at > approximately 11,250,000 – 13,500,000 bottles 200cc Bottles: < 15%, estimated at < approximately 2,250,000 – 2,700,000 bottles 300cc Bottles: < 7%, estimated at < approximately 1,050,000 – 1,260,000 bottles 400cc Bottles: < 5%, estimated at < approximately 750,000 – 900,000 bottles 625cc Bottles: < 2%, estimated at < approximately 450,000 – 540,000 bottles 1,000cc Bottles: <1%, estimated at < approximately 150,000 – 180,000 bottles 2,000cc Bottles: <1%, estimated at < approximately 150,000 – 180,000 bottles 3,000cc Bottles: <1%, estimated at < approximately 150,000 – 180,000 bottles 4,000cc Bottles: <2%, estimated at < approximately 450,000 – 540,000 bottles
