The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 is soliciting quotations for medical and surgical supplies needed at Consolidated Mail Outpatient Pharmacy (CMOP) facilities in Chelmsford, Massachusetts and Tucson, Arizona under RFQ 36C77026Q0049. The procurement covers four line items totaling approximately 5,800 units of specialized medical supplies, including One Touch Verio glucose test strips, Tandem Autosoft XC infusion sets, and Hollister intermittent catheter sets. Key requirements include that all vendors must be Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) authorized dealers or distributors with proper documentation, all pharmaceutical and medical surgical supplies must maintain expiration dates of at least one year from the date of delivery, and the Buy American Act applies to this procurement. Quotations must be submitted via email to Jennifer.Knight@va.gov in the provided Excel spreadsheet format, accompanied by SF1449 cover page, OEM authorization documentation, country of manufacture documentation, and a Buy American Certificate. The solicitation was posted on March 4, 2026, with a firm offer due date of March 11, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. Central Standard Time.

Line Item 1, consisting of 2,400 units of One Touch Verio glucose test strips, is designated as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside under an SBA Nonmanufacturer Rule Class Waiver, while Line Items 2-4 are available for full and open competition. The estimated total contract value is $578,800.00 across all four line items: 2,400 glucose test strips for Chelmsford, 1,800 boxes of infusion sets for Chelmsford, 400 cases of catheter sets for Chelmsford, and 1,200 boxes of infusion sets for Tucson. All deliveries will be made on a Freight on Board (FOB) Destination basis in single shipments to the two respective CMOP locations, with payment to be made by Electronic Funds Transfer upon final acceptance and invoice submission. The procurement restricts competition to a single responsible source for each line item based on physicians' "dispense as written" medical orders that prohibit manufacturer substitutions. All four line items are manufactured non-domestically, requiring appropriate Buy American compliance documentation from offerors.
