STATEMENT OF WORK
5
C.1 SCOPE
The District of Columbia Office of Contracting and Procurement, on behalf of the Fire
and Medical Services Department (FEMS) is seeking a contractor to assist the
Department in acquiring essential emergency pharmaceuticals and medical supplies
necessary for FEMS’ field operations, special events, MCIs, and regular deployments
across the District.
C.2 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS
Not applicable.
C.3 DEFINITIONS
The following definitions illustrate merely a portion of the emergency pharmaceuticals
and medical supplies that FEMS plans to acquire. The complete catalog of products
under the Minnesota Multistate Contracting Alliance for Pharmacy (MMCAP) Infuse
Cooperative Agreement (MMS2401062) encompasses all the essential products the
Department may procure based on its forthcoming needs.
C.3.1 Epinephrine (1:1,000 and 1:10,000) is a vital medication used in emergency
situations, particularly for treating severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) and
cardiac arrest. It is available in different concentrations, with 1:1,000 and
1:10,000 being two commonly encountered examples.
C.3.1.1 1:1,000 epinephrine means there is 1 gram of epinephrine in 1,000 mL of
solution. This is equivalent to a concentration of 1 mg/mL.
C.3.1.2 1:10,000 epinephrine means there is 1 gram of epinephrine in 10,000 mL
of solution. This is equivalent to a concentration of 0.1 mg/mL.
C.3.2 Naloxone is a life-saving medication used to reverse an opioid overdose. It is
available in two main forms: intranasal and injectable.
C.3.2.1 Intranasal Naloxone is administered as a nasal spray, typically in one
nostril, with no assembly is required. Often preferred for its ease of use,
especially bystanders without medical training. The onset of action is
generally slower than injectable forms, taking 10-30 minutes to reach peak
plasma levels, though still considered rapid.
C.3.2.2 Injectable Naloxone is administrated intramuscularly (into the muscle),
intravenously (into the vein), or subcutaneously (under the skin). Often
comes in vials requiring drawing up the correct dose with a syringe.
Intravenous administration offers the fastest onset of action, typically
within 2 minutes.
6
C.3.3 Ketamine is an injectable, short-acting anesthetic for use in humans and animals.
It is referred to as a “dissociative anesthetic” because it makes patients feel
detached from their pain and environment.
C.3.4 Midazolam is a benzodiazepine medication used for various purposes. It can be
given orally, intranasally, buccally, intravenously, or intramuscularly.
C.3.5 Atropine is a naturally occurring alkaloid and anticholinergic medication, which
blocks the action of acetylcholine at muscarinic receptors.
C.3.6 Ondansetron is a medication commonly used to prevent and treat nausea and
vomiting.
C.3.7 Dextrose is a simple sugar, chemically identical to glucose, used to raise blood
sugar levels, provide hydration, and treat hypoglycemia.
C.3.8 Sodium Bicarbonate has various medical uses, primarily due to its ability to
neutralize acid and make fluids more alkaline.
C.3.9 Albuterol is a medication primarily used as a rescue or quick-relief inhaler to treat
or prevent breathing difficulties caused by conditions like asthma.
C.3.10 Nitroglycerin is also known as glyceryl trinitrate; is a medication primarily used
to treat and prevent chest pain (angina) caused by reduced blood flow to the heart.
C.3.11 Aspirin is also known as acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), is a common medication used
to treat pain, fever, and inflammation. Further, its antiplatelet effects can be used
to help prevent blood clots.
C.3.12 IV Solutions (Normal Saline. Lactated Ringers) are common intravenous (IV)
solutions used for fluid resuscitation.
C.3.12.1 Normal saline, a simple solution of sodium chloride in water, is readily
available and often used for general fluid replacement and electrolyte
restoration.
C.12.3.2 Lactated Ringer's, a more complex solution containing sodium, chloride,
potassium, calcium, and lactate, is often preferred for its ability to better
mimic the body's natural fluid and electrolyte balance, particularly in
situations like trauma.
C.4 BACKGROUND
The District of Columbia Fire and Medical Services Department’s mission is to preserve
life and promote health and safety through excellent pre-hospital treatment and
transportation, fire prevention, fire suppression and rescue activities and homeland
security awareness. The Department delivers these services through the staffing of 33
engine companies, 16 ladder trucks, 26 basic life support (BLS) ambulances and 17
7
advanced life support (ALS) ambulances, or “medic units.” Twenty-one of the
Department’s engine companies are paramedic engine companies staffed with one
paramedic. Its medical units are staffed with one paramedic and one Emergency Medical
Technician.
Over the past five years, the District has experienced a notable increase in FEMS call
volume, with more than 270,000 calls in FY24, reflecting a sustained upward trajectory
since FY18. To support the continued supply chain needs and the rapid restock for
emergency pharmaceuticals and medical supplies related to pre-hospital medical care
across the District of Columbia, the Department is requesting procurement approval to
expand purchasing with Cardinal Health 110 LLC (Cardinal Health).
Cardinal Health is a vital contractor with a well-established infrastructure for
manufacturing and distributing a wide range of pharmaceuticals and specialty medical
and laboratory products, including its own nuclear pharmacies and manufacturing
facilities, as well as offering performance and data solutions. Expanding purchasing with
Cardinal Health will ensure continuity of care, improve FEMS’ field operations, and
preserve the supply chain for emergency pharmaceuticals and medical supplies in the
District, a critical factor during special events, MCIs, and routine deployment.
