Scope
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Q: Please clarify whether prescription drug ingredient costs reimbursed to participating retail pharmacies are considered pass-through costs or included in the 50% limitations on subcontracting calculation, and whether pharmacy dispensing fees are treated differently.
A: This procurement is a services contract subject to the limitations on subcontracting requirements in VAAR 852.219-75.
Prescription drug ingredient costs reimbursed to participating retail pharmacies are considered pass-through/direct reimbursement costs and are not considered service performance costs for purposes of the 50% subcontracting calculation.
Pharmacy dispensing fees, however, are compensation for pharmacy services performed and are included in the limitations on subcontracting analysis unless performed by a similarly situated certified SDVOSB subcontractor.
Offerors remain responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable SBA and VA limitations on subcontracting requirements.

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.
