IDVA-LaSalle Emergency Pharmacy Procurement
The Illinois Department of Veterans' Affairs (IDVA) is seeking a 90-day emergency contract for pharmacy services at the LaSalle Home due to the previous contract being incorrectly procured. The vendor, Enloe Drugs LLC, shall provide pharmaceutical services including medication dispensing, intravenous solutions, 24/7 on-call pharmacist, medication cart storage, and other supporting services. This emergency contract will allow the agency time to procure a new competitive contract for these critical services. The estimated cost of the 90-day emergency contract is $135,000, to be funded through state appropriated funds. This emergency procurement is necessary to prevent disruption of services affecting the health and safety of the home's residents until a new competitively bid contract can be established.
The emergency contract opportunity is limited to the St. Clair County jurisdiction in Illinois. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent vendor, Enloe Drugs LLC, is currently providing these services under the incorrectly procured previous contract. The emergency contract will allow for the integration of the vendor's existing infrastructure and technology to ensure continuity of services.
