The Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service (IHS) is forecasting a recompete for a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for Pharmaceutical Supplies, with an estimated award date of August 1, 2026. The procurement will focus on acquiring a comprehensive range of pharmaceutical products and medical supplies, specifically targeting items not available through the Department of Veterans Affairs' pharmacy prime vendor program. This opportunity is categorized under NAICS 325412 (Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing) and is structured as a single-award BPA.

The forecasted contract has a substantial ceiling value of $710,032,500 and will span approximately seven years, with task orders ranging from $80,000 to $250,000. Key points of contact include Sean Long, Contracting Officer, and Weston Thompson, NSSC Pharmacy Support Branch Supervisor, both from IHS. The BPA will enable the procurement of various pharmaceutical products, including controlled and non-controlled medications, specialty pharmaceuticals, COVID-19 vaccines, and medical consumables to be delivered to IHS facilities nationwide.

The existing award being recompeted is Contract Number 75H71122A00161, currently held by McKesson Corporation. The incumbent contract was initially awarded on August 18, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of August 23, 2029. The current BPA has a total ceiling value of $710,032,500 and allows IHS to streamline procurement of essential medical supplies for Native American communities. The recompete maintains the same single-award, no set-aside structure as the current contract.
