The Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration is seeking to procure Japanese Encephalitis Vaccine in syringe form, specifically the brand name 'Ixiaro' or an equivalent product. This pharmaceutical procurement falls under NAICS code 3254 (Pharmaceutical and Medicine Manufacturing) and PSC code 6505 (Drugs and Biologicals). The pre-solicitation notice was posted on December 19, 2025, with a response deadline of December 29, 2025, providing interested vendors with a ten-day window to submit their proposals or inquiries. While the notice does not specify detailed evaluation criteria or specific qualification requirements, vendors should anticipate standard pharmaceutical procurement standards including product authenticity, regulatory compliance, and delivery capabilities. The abbreviated timeline between posting and due date suggests this is an urgent procurement need.

This procurement is not designated as a set-aside for any specific business category, meaning all eligible vendors may compete for the contract. The specific product requirement is identified by National Drug Code (NDC) 42515-0002-01 and National Stock Number (NSN) 6505-01-607-7018, with a quantity of 800 syringes to be supplied. No incumbent contractor or current supplier information has been disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. The award value and budget range have not been disclosed at this pre-solicitation stage, though the quantity of 800 syringes provides a concrete metric for interested vendors to calculate their pricing proposals. Vendors should monitor for the formal solicitation release, which typically follows shortly after a pre-solicitation notice is issued.
