Cold-Seal Medication Blister Cards

The Florida Department of Corrections (FDC) has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) to secure responsive bids from responsible vendors to provide cold-seal medication blister cards for distribution among the Department's four regional pharmacies. The purpose of this ITB is to establish a new five-year Agency Term Contract (ATC) that may be renewed for up to five additional years. The ITB provides detailed specifications, estimated quantities, delivery requirements, warranty obligations, and performance measures. Bids are due by June 22, 2022 at 3:00 pm Eastern Time, and the Department anticipates advertising its award decision on July 25, 2022. Vendors will be required to provide firm, fixed pricing that includes all packaging, handling, shipping, and delivery charges. There are no minimum order requirements, but orders will not split standard packaging.

The Department will apply a preference to Florida-based vendors if the lowest responsive bid is from an out-of-state vendor. The current contract can be found under Agency Assigned Contract ID ATC-17-012. This ITB does not appear to include any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The Department has not identified any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and no information is provided about any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The budget range or anticipated award value is also not specified in the provided materials.
