In a partnering effort between Veterans Health
Administration (VHA) and the Office of Acquisition and Logistics ( OA&L ), VA implemented a national
medical/surgical prime vendor program. The program is mandatory for all VA
medical centers and consists of six prime vendor contracts. The prime vendor
contracts cover the period April 20, 2005 through April 19, 2010
. Medical Centers pay prime vendors a distribution fee plus the product
price. Product prices are primarily established by the Federal Supply
Schedule Program (FSS), VA National Standardization Program, Veterans
Integrated Service Network (VISN) and/or local contracts. The distribution fee
is a markup to the product prices and is intended to cover prime vendor costs
for managing customer inventories, ensuring the timely delivery of needed
products to customers in a more efficient and effective manner than other conventional
ordering methods, and administering electronic commerce systems in support of
the program.
