Pharmacy Compounding Contingency Solicitation for Spokane VA Medical Center

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 20 is seeking a contractor to provide pharmacy compounding contingency services for the Spokane VA Medical Center. This solicitation involves a five-year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for contingency IV sterile compounding services, structured as five one-year ordering periods from September 30, 2025, to September 29, 2030. The contractor must provide sterile IV compounding services as a backup plan when the Spokane VA cannot compound sterile IV admixtures due to mechanical or system failures. Key requirements include compounding clinical sterile preparations according to United States Pharmacopeia standards (USP 797 and 800), proper labeling, HIPAA compliance, same-day delivery, pharmacist verification for quality control, and reporting medication errors within 24 hours. The solicitation includes over 300 medications across multiple drug categories including antineoplastic, antimicrobial, anesthetic, anticoagulant, and immunological agents, though total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is explicitly excluded. Proposals are due by July 22, 2025, with the solicitation posted on July 8, 2025.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designation and will be conducted as a full and open competition. The contract includes provisions for hazardous compounding services, with the compounding work to be performed at the contractor's facility rather than on-site at the VA medical center. The place of performance is Spokane, Washington, with delivery required to the Spokane VA Medical Center. The comprehensive pharmaceutical inventory spans a wide range of medical needs, covering emergency, routine, and specialized medical treatment requirements across multiple therapeutic domains. Each listed medication includes precise specifications such as concentration, volume, packaging type, and manufacturer details. The solicitation documents do not specify award values or budget ranges, and no current incumbents or potential contractors are identified in the available materials.
