Description
The Defense Logistics Agency, Defense Supply Center Philadelphia (DSCP), Directorate of Medical Materiel plans to issue an unrestricted Request For Proposal (RFP) to solicit offers to select a Primary Supplier (PS) and a Secondary Supplier (SS) of pharmaceuticals for Government Medical Treatment Facilities (MTF) in the TRICARE Northeast Region (includes the states of ME, NH, VT, MA, RI, CN, NY, NJ, PA, DE, MD, WV as well as the District of Columbia and northern VA). DSCP intends to award a "PS" contract for the TRICARE Northeast Region. An "SS" contract will be issued, if it is in the best interests of the Government. The proposed contract would include a base ordering period of 2 years with three 2-year option periods for both the "PS" and "SS". The potential maximum term of each contract would be 8 years. Current total annual pharmaceutical purchases by the MTFs in the region amount to $187,500,000. The estimated value of the 8-year "PS" contract is $1.5 billion. This acquisition will be awarded using a Tradeoff Process under Source Selection Procedures -- all technical evaluation factors, when combined, are significantly more important than price. In order to be initially considered for an award, at the time of closing of the RFP, each offeror must submit Business & Technical Proposals as set forth in the solicitation. The current estimated issuance date of the solicitation is 15 December, 2000 with an estimated closing date of 30 January, 2001.
