About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 has awarded a sole-source bridge contract to Aphena Pharma Solutions-Tennessee LLC for pharmaceutical repackaging services on May 1, 2026, with a total value of $7,200,000.
The VA justified sole-source authority under 41 USC 1901, citing Aphena as the only contractor currently capable of providing services within the compressed timeline given validated procedures, facility licenses, certifications, and specialized equipment requirements. The current task order with Aphena expires April 30, 2026, and the bridge contract is necessary to prevent service lapse during a long-term competitive procurement process. The VA issued a long-term competitive solicitation on December 10, 2025, receiving four proposals; however, two were rejected for failure to submit required samples, and the contracting officer determined award cannot be made due to missing critical elements in the Performance Work Statement and pricing schedule. The repackaging services support all seven CMOP (Central Meds Outpatient Pharmacy) facilities with anticipated demand of approximately 17 million repacked bottles annually. These services are critical to veteran prescription fulfillment and closing the gap between VA National Acquisition Center contracts and CMOP requirements; service discontinuity would directly impact veteran health and safety. The contract period runs from May 1, 2026 through October 31, 2026 (six months) on an IDIQ basis. Fair and reasonable pricing was determined using historical pricing, Independent Government Cost Estimate, and competitive pricing data from the long-term solicitation.
