Department of Veterans Affairs, OALC, EPO AS7 Request for Information (RFI) Specialty Pharmacy Pharmaceutical Prime Vendor (PPV) 2028 Limited Distribution/Closed Distribution Products (CDP) are specialty medications that are generally high-cost, low-volume items for which manufacturers restrict distribution to a small, select network of authorized distributors outside traditional wholesale channels.
Specialty Pharmacy dispensed prescriptions, must have a clinical justification or regulatory requirement to restrict dispensing to specialty pharmacies.
These products may require additional pharmacy-performed activities such as product-specific registration, safety checks, monitoring, or compliance with manufacturer-mandated dispensing requirements.
CDPs may or may not require pass-through delivery depending on the manufacturer's distribution model.
The contractor shall ensure that all Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) items requiring specialty distribution including all those not currently/historically included or physically distributed through the Prime Vendor (PPV) are orderable by authorized ordering officers through the pharmaceutical prime vendor ordering platform.
When a product requires specialty distribution, the pharmaceutical distributor shall coordinate fulfillment directly with the manufacturer-designated specialty distributor, even in cases where physical possession or shipment bypasses the pharmaceutical prime vendor.
The goal is to provide seamless ordering access, accurate invoicing, and visibility into CDP transactions while maintaining compliance with manufacturer restrictions and ensuring timely, compliant delivery to VA facilities.

How to bid on this
This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.
- Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
- Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
- This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
- Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
