Description

Reference the Sources Sought Notice DADA09-05-T9003 issued DEC 22, 2004 to locate potential sources for the standardization of the pharmaceutical drug CIPROFLOXACIN HCL to secure best possible prices for the 45 Military Medical Treatment Facilities ( MTFs) in TRICARE Regions 6, 7, 8. The Response Date has been extended to 29 APRIL 2005. Products. CIPROFLOXACIN HCL 500mg: Generic code 047051, 500mg has an estimated annual usage of 3,761 bottles (3,755 bottles in 100 tabs and 6 bottles in 500 tabs). Criteria. Each vendor must not only meet all FDA requirements related to pharmaceuticals, medications, and vaccines but also meet or demonstrate compliance with the base criterion for this product line. These criterion include but are not limited to the f ollowing: (1) Clinical studies demonstrating the safety and efficacy of the drug in appropriate populations. (2) Therapeutic advantages and disadvantages relative to accepted therapy. (3) Cost-effectiveness relative to accepted therapy. (4) Clinical suppor t and education programs to each MTF. (5) Customer support in the form of a sales representative for each MTF within TRICARE Regions 6, 7& 8. (6) Unique NDC for each product. (7) Bar code labeling with NDC. (8) Existing FSS contract and/or Distribution and Pricing Agreement (DAPA) for providing reliable distribution and consistent availability through our DoD Pharmacy Prime Vendors (Reg 6- Bergen; Reg 7&8- Cardinal and Dakota Drug) for all TRICARE Region 6, 7&8 facilities for each product). (9) Quarterly u tilization data collection support to the Tri-Service Regional Business Office (TRBO). (10) A company returns policy. Selection. A Clinical Product Team (CPT) will evaluate this product line. CPTs are composed of healthcare providers who have expertise and knowledge of the products and will review products and literature submitted. TRICARE Regions 6, 7&8 deem the CPT members to be medical experts. Therefore, they are qualified to determine and recommend which products are acceptable. The CPT recommenda tion can be based on literature review, presentation, demonstration, and physical or clinical evaluation. Recommendations by the CPT will be at the sole discretion of the experts selected to review any offering. The drug(s) may or may not be listed on dr ug plan formularies, and recommendations may be deferred pending further information. Pricing. Regional Incentive Agreements (RIAs) can be exercised on the package size or bulk quantities deemed most advantageous to the Government. Price is the most imp ortant factor, and items may be awarded as an aggregate. Vendors are required to propose an incentive price in their submittals for each line item listed to be considered for award. Offerors must state the exact name (name that appears on label) by which the drug will be supplied and have a unique NDC number. Offerors must provide bar code labeling which includes at a minimum the NDC number. Additionally, offerors are encouraged to provide the expiration date and lot number in the bar code. Award will be made on the package size(s) most advantageous to the Government. The awardee(s) will be required to permit lower prices by the DoD Pharmaceutical Prime Vendor (PPV) up front. Any additional chargeback/rebate will be handled after the sale between the manufacturer and the appropriate DoD PPV. The chargeback/rebate pr ocess must be transparent to the MTF customer. The awardee(s) will permit the DoD PPV to load the lower discounted incentive price into their Electronic Order Entry System (EOES). The MTF customer shall see the lower incentive price on the DoD PPV EOES s creen. Currently, neither Defense Medical Logistics Standard Support (DMLSS), the Universal Data Repository (UDR) nor DSCP can load the regionally reduced prices. Under no circumstances shall the awardee attempt to charge the MTF customer the non-RIA pri ce (i.e., the higher initial price) and attempt to provide the price difference via a c hargeback/rebate after the sale. The awardee(s) will assign a unique chargeback number to this Regional Incentive Agreement, to distinguish it from the original Government contract or other agreement price (i.e. FSS, DAPA, etc.). Contact Mr. Hill by email to obtain the pricing excel spreadsheet format to be used. Interested companies should provide Mr. Hill your company name, address, point of contact to address questions regarding your products, telephone, fax, answers to the lis ted criteria questions above, and pricing proposal(s) (excel spreadsheet) no later than COB 29 APRIL 2005. Companies must also provide their FSS contract and/or DAPA number for their product(s). [For information regarding pharmaceutical DAPAs, contact DSCP at (215) 737-7893.] Companies not responding by the suspense date may be eliminated from consideration on any subsequent procurement action for these items. Again, all submittals must be received by COB 29 APRIL 2005. To participate, please contact Mr. Ke vin Hill the Tri-Service Regional Business Office (TRBO), Bldg 3600, Room L34-1A, ATTN: SGLL-TRBO/Mr. Kevin Hill (210-916-7456), 3851 Roger Brooke Drive, San Antonio, TX 78234, e-mail: Kevin.Hill2@amedd.army.mil. Electronic communication is preferred.
