Repackaging Oral Solid Pharmaceuticals

Added: Nov 16, 2010 9:05 am The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) National Acquisition Center (NAC), and the VA Consolidated Mail Outpatient Pharmacy (CMOP) program, are seeking vendors capable of performing pharmaceutical drug repackaging into various sizes of white HDPE bottles. Offerors should have two (2) years proven past experience, as a repackager, in repackaging a volume of at least 7.5M-8M bottles of oral solid pharmaceuticals per year. Blister packaging is not contemplated at this time. This effort is for "just-in-time" repackaging; the successful contractor will have seven (7) calendar days to fulfill each repackaging order placed. The prospective vendor should be licensed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for repackaging and distributing pharmaceuticals. The prospective vendor should possess a Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) certification for Class III (narcotic and non-narcotic), Class IV, and Class V controlled substances. The VA is estimating approximately 15-18 million repackaged bottles, of unknown content or quantity per bottle, per year. This estimate, historically, has resulted in an average of 800 unique repackaging production runs per week. Repackaging is a service, and is classified under North American Industry Classification Standards (NAICS) code 561910. The corresponding small business size, to this NAICS code, is established as not exceeding the $7.0M threshold. Please review Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 19.1 for a description of how to apply this threshold. Please remember, earnings of any parent / subsidiary / sibling business relation may affect your business size status. This is a Pre-solicitation notice; the solicitation, VA-797M-11-RP-0037, will be published following this notice.
