    The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking to procure five specific brand name pharmaceuticals for the Leavenworth Consolidated Mail Outpatient Pharmacy (CMOP) under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures outlined in FAR 13.5. The justification for sole-source procurement highlights that only the unique products can fulfill the requirements established by physician prescriptions, with no substitutions permitted due to clinical evaluations by Pharmacy Benefits Management (PBM). The procurement will be a firm-fixed-price contract, with delivery expected within ten days after receipt of order. Market research, conducted to assess available sources, confirmed that Abbvie, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of the specified products, does not have registered small business distributors that meet the necessary criteria under the Non-Manufacturer Rule. Consequently, competition is restricted as no other suppliers can provide the required pharmaceuticals, aligning with regulatory provisions. Although previous contracts involved both large and small businesses, only qualified vendors complying with Drug Supply Chain Security Act requirements will be solicited. The anticipated cost is expected to be fair based on historical data and market evaluations, ensuring compliance with procurement guidelines. Overall, this acquisition underlines the VA's commitment to providing specific medications to veterans while adhering to regulatory and market procedures.
