Purchase of Antibiotics

The City of Pasadena Public Health Department is seeking a qualified vendor for a one-time purchase of Doxycycline and Ciprofloxacin antibiotics, with proposals due October 28, 2026. The procurement is driven by emergency preparedness — the antibiotics will be stockpiled for rapid availability to city staff and their dependents following potential exposure to Category A biological agents including anthrax, plague, or tularemia. Completion must occur within the city's fiscal year ending June 30, 2027.

Vendors must submit a Vendor Questionnaire, Licenses and Certifications documentation (including a Pasadena Business License and California Department of General Services Small and Micro Business Certification), a Relevant Experience Form documenting five completed projects of similar scope and size, a UEI from SAM.gov, and federal certifications under 44 C.F.R. Part 18 (Appendix A) affirming no federal appropriated funds will be used to influence federal or congressional officials. If lobbying activities occur, Standard Form-LLL disclosure is required. For projects valued at $25,000 or more involving labor or services, vendors must complete the Project Workforce Utilization form indicating number of Pasadena residents employed or to be employed.

The solicitation is open to all qualified vendors; no set-asides, preferences, or incumbent information are identified. Delivery must not exceed 90 days following purchase order receipt. The source does not specify quantities, estimated contract value, evaluation criteria weighting, or a pre-bid meeting date. PPHD emphasizes competitive pricing and commitment to quality and timely delivery in vendor selection.
