How federal agencies buy medical and pharmaceutical
Drugs and many medical supplies are bought through the VA's Federal Supply Schedules and DLA's medical prime vendor programs, while open notices cover equipment, maintenance, clinical staffing and specific supplies. Equipment notices may ask for FDA clearance, brand name or equal items, installation and training; staffing contracts check licenses and credentials. Common NAICS codes: 339112, 423450, 325412, and 621111 for physician services.
Contracting officers set a purchase aside for small businesses when they expect offers from at least two capable small firms at fair prices (the rule of two). Whether a firm counts as small depends on the SBA size standard for the notice's NAICS code, in annual receipts or employees, and offerors need an active SAM.gov registration with a Unique Entity ID.
