This procurement is set aside for small businesses under NAICS code 325412 (Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,300 employees, though no specific set-aside designation is indicated in the opportunity details. The total requirement spans 67,380 boxes of eyelid cleanser pads to be delivered over a three-month period, with monthly deliveries distributed across the seven CMOP locations. The quantities vary by location, with some documents indicating different total quantities (53,280 versus 67,380 boxes), suggesting potential variations in the final requirements. Performance will occur at multiple VA facilities across the United States, with products required to be shippable via USPS.
