Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) originally sought to establish a national requirements contract for Dimethyl Fumarate DR capsules, specifically 120MG (14 count bottles) and 240MG (60 count bottles). This was an unrestricted, firm-fixed-price acquisition with a one-year base and four one-year options. The contract has since been awarded, and Option 2 was recently exercised on October 8, 2024, extending the period of performance through October 27, 2025.

Products needed to be FDA approved with acceptable cGMP status, and offerors had to provide product information registered with RXNorm, First Data Bank, and Medispan.
