REBID* Lenalidomide - DOC-EHCC

The Louisiana Office of State Procurement is conducting a solicitation for a Blanket Order Contract to provide Specialty Cancer Medication, specifically Lenalidomide 10mg Capsules, for the Louisiana Department of Corrections - Elayn Hunt Correctional Center. The procurement is targeted for Iberia Parish and seeks 365 capsules (28 caps per fill) for an initial contract period beginning on the award date and ending June 30, 2026, with potential renewal options for two additional 12-month periods, not to exceed 36 months total. The bid opening is scheduled for September 10, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST, with online bid submission and a virtual Zoom bid opening. Evaluation criteria will focus on selecting the lowest responsive, responsible bidder meeting all specified requirements. Bidders must be registered in the LaGov system and include all associated solicitation documents with their submission. The method of award will be on an individual basis, and the contract is structured as a blanket order, meaning items will be called for by the using agency as needed with no guaranteed minimum quantities.

The solicitation appears to have preferences for Louisiana-based businesses and United States-manufactured products, with potential preference points for bidders whose Louisiana workforce comprises at least 50% Louisiana residents. There are no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises explicitly mentioned in the documents. Bidders must comply with various state and federal regulations, including civil rights laws, ADA requirements, and anti-discrimination provisions. Payment will be preferentially processed through electronic methods like LaCarte procurement cards and Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). The unit price submitted must include all freight charges, and contractors must be able to supply items at the bid price throughout the contract period. While no specific budget range is provided, the contract is designed to be flexible, allowing for quantity adjustments based on agency demand. The state reserves the right to award the contract to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder and to reject individual line items as needed.
