The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) National Acquisition Center intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) 36E79725R0018 for Human Insulin, serving multiple federal agencies including VA, Department of Defense, Bureau of Prisons, Indian Health Service, and Federal Health Care Center. The procurement is unrestricted and will award a single contract to a responsible offeror capable of providing an uninterrupted insulin supply. Offerors must specify the exact drug name appearing on the label and provide a unique NDC number, with their label being the only one permitted on the product.

The solicitation will be electronically issued on March 4, 2025, with responses due by March 18, 2025, and companies are advised to continuously monitor SAM.gov for potential amendments.

The contract will span one base year with four additional pre-priced one-year option periods, distributed through VA and DoD pharmaceutical prime vendor programs. The procurement encompasses three distinct insulin product groups: Group 1 (human insulin pens and vials), Group 2 (rapid-acting analog insulin), and Group 3 (long-acting insulin), with estimated annual usage ranging from approximately 39,444 units for Human 70/30 pens to 1,875,294 units for long-acting pens. The procurement falls under NAICS code 325412 for Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing, and the point of contact is Billy Fong from the VA. No specific set-aside designations are noted, indicating the solicitation is open to all qualifying vendors. The estimated annual requirements suggest a substantial contract value, with multiple insulin types and significant quantity requirements across various packaging formats.
