C0820 clindamycin P04 1% top swab 36C77025Q0278

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 is seeking to procure Clindamycin PO4 1% topical swabs through solicitation number 36C77025Q0278. The procurement involves six line items of 60-count packages of this pharmaceutical product, which will be delivered to multiple VA Central Medical Outpatient Pharmacy (CMOP) locations across the United States, including facilities in Chelmsford, Tucson, Dallas, Murfreesboro, Hines, and Charleston. Vendors must submit a complete response package that includes Standard Form 1449, a price schedule, an unexpired state wholesale distributor license, and country of origin information. All submissions must be emailed to the contracting officer Kayla Powers at Kayla.Powers@va.gov and vendors must verify compliance with the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA). The response deadline is August 7, 2025, with an estimated solicitation issue date of August 1, 2025, and vendors must be capable of delivering within 10 days after receipt of order.

Despite the government file summary indicating this is a small business set-aside, the main opportunity details show "No Set-Aside Used," creating some inconsistency in the documentation. The total procurement quantity is 9,048 units distributed across the six CMOP locations, with individual location quantities ranging from 720 to 3,200 units per facility. The solicitation falls under NAICS code 325412 for Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing and uses Product Service Code 6505 for Drugs and Biologicals. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the available documentation. The procurement timeline is compressed, with only six days between the estimated issue date and response deadline, followed by a 10-day delivery requirement after order placement.
