Description
The VA’s Network Contracting Office (NCO‑10) is conducting market research to identify qualified vendors that can provide Pharmacy Residency Accreditation services for VA medical facilities in Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan. The effort will support the VA’s existing 200+ accredited residency programs, focusing on the roughly 26 residency positions in the three‑state region. Vendors must submit a capability statement and answer a set of four industry‑specific questions, indicating interest, business size, geographic reach, and typical approach to accreditation work (including in‑house vs. subcontracted tasks). The eventual contract is expected to be a base‑year IDIQ with four optional one‑year extensions, covering accreditation reviews, documentation, site visits, and compliance reporting. No pricing is required at this stage; the solicitation is strictly for information gathering.
• Scope: Perform accreditation support for VA pharmacy residency programs (PGY‑1 and PGY‑2) across multiple VA sites in OH, IN, MI.
• Deliverables: Accreditation assessments, reporting, guidance, and possible subcontract management as described in the vendor’s capability statement.
• Contract Structure: Base year plus up to four one‑year ordering periods (potential 5‑year duration).
• Submission Requirements: Capability statement and answers to four questions, emailed to the contracting officer by 13:30 EST on 12 Oct 2026. No cost proposals or pricing are to be included.
