The Government intends to award an Unpriced Firm Fixed-Price  Purchase Order that will consist of a 6 month base period with four six month  option period. The offerors will be required to undertake the product  procurement through an open quotation system. The products are procured on  open bid, with a minimum of three quotations required for each product.  The product with the lowest cost, which can meet all of the specifications and  quality requirement, is then procured. Included in this description is a  sample list of OI Drugs that may be required to be purchased under the  purchase order.  Each offeror MUST submit ALL required certifications showing proof of  meeting the government's requirements with their quotation, which are listed  here:  * Under Vietnam law and regulation only a registered and licensed  pharmaceutical distributor may undertake physical distribution of  pharmaceutical products. Additionally, PEPFAR Vietnam is currently operating  in 40 provinces of Vietnam with a wide geographical range from the far  Northern area to the far Southern area of the country; a longitudinal spread  of around 2,000 Kms. The contractor must be able to operate over a wide  geographical range.   * The volume of medicines to be provided by PEPFAR, although small in  comparison to the total country requirement, is nevertheless a significant  proportion in relation to the central level public sector supply. Therefore  the contractor must currently have high capacity volume capabilities and have  adequate capacity to store and undertake the physical distribution volumes of  medicines required by PEPFAR Vietnam.  * Because a number of treatment sites have very low storage capacity  for medicines, it is a requirement that the contractor store medicines and  undertake frequent small deliveries to the treatment sites. Further, storage  is required to hold emergency stocks and buffer stocks against possible  unforeseen circumstances and erratic usage patterns.  * It is a Ministry of Health (MoH) requirement, {Extraordinary Letter  No. 6036/QLD-CL Ministry of Health, Drug Administration of Vietnam, Attention:  Pharmaceutical Companies, enterprises attaining Good Practices (GPs)} that all  new operations, must use only storage facilities that have ASEAN (Association  of South-East Asian Nations) GSP (Good Storage Practice) certification.  * It is a MoH and MoF requirement that all proposed medicine  distribution must be approved in advance by both Ministries.  * All offerors who are to procure, store and distribute medicines  destined for use within the public sector of Vietnam must have within their  possession/on file specific approval for each activity from both the MoH and  MoF.
