The solicitation is for a national contract to provide Ondansetron Orally Disintegrating Tablets for purchase by DLA and VA customers through the Prime Vendor (PPV) program. The contract will be for a one-year base period with four option years. The complete order quantity shall be delivered to the PPV contractors within 15 calendar days after receipt of order. Product information must be registered with RxNorm, First Data Bank, and MediSpan prior to the effective date of contract performance. The contractor must submit invoices in accordance with the business-to-business agreements reached with the PPV contractors. The contract price effective date shall be no more than 60 calendar days after award. Initial orders totaling up to 30% of each agency's stated estimated annual contract quantities may be placed by the PPV contractors with the national contract awardee of this solicitation to fulfill the initial order requirements. The offeror must provide pricing information for line items 0001-0003. The offeror is required to submit offered prices for each line item for the base and all option years as part of the offerors price proposal. The final proposal revision, telephonic negotiations and/or email negotiations may be used to determine the lowest price evaluated unit price per bottle. The government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement.
The complete order quantity shall be delivered to the PPV contractors within 15 calendar days after receipt of order.
The contractor will be receiving payments from the PPV contractors instead of directly from the government, and special contract considerations apply.
An award will be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal is determined to be technically acceptable and provides the lowest evaluated aggregate price.
For an offer to be determined technically acceptable, the proposal must receive an acceptable rating for both nonprice factors, resulting in an overall rating of acceptable.
If a national contract item is backordered by a PPV contractor, the contracting officer will review the backorder to determine the cause of the backorder. If the contracting officer determines that the backorder is awardee-caused, the contracting officer will bill the awardee for any excess procurement costs.
The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 90 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers.
The annual usage for DLA, VA, BOP and IHS customers served through the prime vendor programs is estimated in the schedule of supplies.
