FDB MEDKNOWLEDGE Descriptive and Pricing Information from First Databank, Inc.

The Defense Logistics Agency Medical Directorate seeks to renew a data subscription license agreement from First Databank, Inc. for FDB MEDKNOWLEDGE descriptive and pricing information. The drug databases and weekly classification data are required to support over 170 Military Medical Supply Standard Support sites' pharmacy procurement and analysis efforts in lowering healthcare costs and improving patient care. Offerors must submit proposals by May 11, 2020 to provide the specialized data through a one-year base period from June 1, 2020 to May 31, 2021 and two one-year option periods, to be evaluated based on total price for all performance periods.

There is no set-aside designation for this requirement. The solicitation is issued under NAICS code 519130 for database and directory publishers and PSC code D304 for automated data processing equipment, software, supplies, and support equipment. As the incumbent provider of this highly specialized drug data, First Databank is the only responsible source able to meet requirements without substantial duplication of costs. The estimated value for the base year plus two option years is $285,709 to provide the data subscription covering 170 DODAACs and integrating with DLA and customer systems, with performance in South San Francisco, California.
