This procurement will result in a national mandatory requirement contract for the above agencies (for outpatient pharmacy use only).

If interested, please indicate Base year and how many Option periods, not to exceed 4. If an award were to be made based on the above requirements, would your company be able to begin supplying the product in the estimated quantities within 60 days of the contract award date? If your company is not interested in participating, please respond with the reason why. This aids our market research for future procurements.
