Watch out for
- Pharmaceutical supply to prime vendor programs. Drug supply for federal health programs usually involves strict manufacturing and supply requirements that a new small business may find hard to meet; the notice does not list them.
- Dates do not match. The notice was posted in 2023 but projects an August 2021 solicitation date, so check whether the solicitation has already been issued or closed.
The current projected solicitation date is August 2021.
