Charleston CMOP CARBOXYMETHYLCELLULOSE NA 0. 25% OPH SOLN 15ML

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 is seeking to procure Carboxymethylcellulose NA 0.25% Ophthalmic Solution in 15ML bottles through Request for Quote (RFQ) 36C77025Q0242. The procurement is managed by the VA CMOP Charleston facility located in Ladson, SC, and falls under NAICS code 325412 for Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing and PSC code 6505 for Drugs and Biologicals. Vendors must be registered in SAM.gov and submit a comprehensive solicitation package via email to sarah.fry2@va.gov by July 17, 2025 at 4:00 PM CST. Required documentation includes a signed SF1449, price schedule with country of manufacture, valid state wholesale distributor license, Buy American Act certificate (if applicable), and OEM authorization documentation for over-the-counter products. Failure to submit all required documents will result in the quote being deemed non-compliant. The delivery requirement is 10 days after receipt of order to the Charleston CMOP facility.

This procurement opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting participation to qualified small business entities. The contract calls for delivery of 6,360 bottles of the ophthalmic solution to the VA CMOP Charleston facility. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on July 10, 2025, with responses due by July 17, 2025, providing vendors with a seven-day window to prepare and submit their quotes. No information regarding potential incumbents, current contractors, or estimated award values is provided in the pre-solicitation documentation. The rapid turnaround time of 10 days for delivery after order receipt suggests this is likely a recurring procurement for maintaining inventory levels at the Charleston facility.
