About this opportunity

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 is conducting market research for pharmacy emergent first fill prescription services for VISN 08 in Florida. This sources sought notice seeks to identify qualified contractors capable of providing these specialized pharmacy services under what is anticipated to be a firm-fixed price contract structure. The procurement has been amended to reflect NAICS code 524292 (Pharmacy Benefit Management and Other Third Party Administration of Insurance and Pension Funds) with a small business size standard of $46 million. Organizations responding to this request for information must provide comprehensive company details including organization name, address, contact information, business size classification, SAM registration status with UEI and CAGE codes, and any applicable authorized service provider letters from manufacturers. All questions must be submitted in writing to colleen.houser@va.gov by the September 2, 2025 deadline, and responses should demonstrate the company's capabilities to perform the required services.

This opportunity is designated as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside, though the agency is also considering Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, Women Owned Small Businesses, or other small business firms for potential set-aside categories. The contract structure includes a one-year base period from January 23, 2025 to January 22, 2026, followed by four option years extending through January 22, 2030, plus an additional six-month option period ending July 22, 2030. The total potential contract duration spans five and a half years if all options are exercised. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the notice, and no specific award values or budget ranges are disclosed. The government emphasizes that this is purely a market research exercise to determine whether to proceed with competitive procurement, and the VA reserves sole discretion in making decisions based on the responses received.
