The purpose of this sources sought notice is to conduct market research only. This announcement is not a request for proposals and there is no solicitation available for distribution at this time. If a solicitation is issued it will be announced at a later date, and all interested parties must respond to that solicitation announcement separately from the responses to this announcement. Responding to this sources sought is not a request to be added to a prospective bidders list or receive a copy of the solicitation. Consistent with VA s Veterans First Contracting Program, VA is particularly interested in identifying Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and Veteran-Owned Small Businesses with the requisite experience and capabilities to perform as a PPV. The response to this notice, along with other market research conducted by the VA National Acquisition Center will form the basis for developing the PPV acquisition strategy for the new and ensuing contract(s). The PPV will be required to stock pharmaceuticals and distribute a broad range of pharmaceutical items to VA and Other Government Agency (OGA) facilities located in the 50 United States, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, the Philippines, U.S. Virgin Islands, and a single location in the Mariana Islands. Prices for the pharmaceutical products distributed under PPV program are priced by Federal Government contracts such as the existing Federal Supply Schedule Program, national contracts, Blanket Purchase Agreements and other Federal government contracts. WAC based price generics may be required as part of the contract for items that are not under existing government contract. Potential sources will be required to have an established web-based ordering system, including electronic ordering of controlled substances that complies with DEA regulations. Electronic order placement will be made daily by ordering facilities, with next-day delivery required to participating facilities located within the continental United States and 72-hour delivery required for facilities located outside the continental United States. A myriad of reports will be required to be provided under the program. The intended contract period is eight years, which may include options beginning on or around August 2020. Potential offerors and interested companies are encouraged to respond via email to karen.ade@va.gov and address the questions below. Telephone responses will not be accepted. Responses must be received in writing no later than 11:00 AM Central Standard Time August 24th, 2018.

Is it possible for IHS accounts, the PPV will supply an auto-generated PO# as follows: 6-digit date (YYMMDD), account number, and 2-digit order number (for example, the first generated order of the day would be 01 for each account). This auto-generated PO# will not be generated until the order is submitted by the originating account. The PO# will not be a field that can be altered by the originating account. Is it possible for ordering facilities to order product from any distribution center within the system in the event that their primary and alternate distribution centers are out of product and receive delivery within 24 hours at no additional cost to the government?
