The Department of Veterans Affairs is issuing a solicitation for suppliers to provide glucose test strips for the Chelmsford CMOP (Customer Medical Outpatient Pharmacy). This opportunity is specifically set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB).
The primary objective is to obtain compliant and competitively priced glucose test strips for use in the VA healthcare system. The chosen vendor will need to deliver the products to the Chelmsford location in Massachusetts.
The awardee will be responsible for delivering high-quality glucose test strips that meet the specified requirements. The VA requires a consistent supply of these test strips, which involve a waived class of in vitro diagnostics.
This SDVOSB set-aside requires bidders to hold the necessary certifications and have a strong track record of supplying medical devices or in vitro diagnostics. Businesses interested in applying must register in the System for Award Management (SAM) and obtain a Dun & Bradstreet Universal Number (DUNS).
Funding for this contract is expected to come from the VA's medical supply budget. The contract type is expected to be a firm-fixed-price agreement.
Bidders should submit their pricing schedules and relevant product information by the given deadline. The VA encourages bidders to use the provided template, which can be found on the VA's website, and clearly indicate their unit pricing, quantity discounts, and other relevant terms.
The VA will evaluate bids based on price reasonableness, past performance, and compliance with the required specifications. The lowest priced bid that meets all the requirements will be carefully reviewed, and the awardee will be selected based on the overall fairness and reasonableness of the offer.
For any questions or clarifications, interested parties should contact Jennifer L Knight at jennifer.knight@va.gov or via phone at 913-684-0162.
The VA encourages potential suppliers to carefully review the solicitation documents and ensure a complete and compliant submission.
