Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides responses to vendor questions regarding RFQ # 19RP3826Q0054 for the Supply and Delivery of Various Medical Supplies.

• Made in USA Requirement: Pharmaceuticals are not required to be Made in USA, as they will support a local medical mission and be used by Philippine nationals, not U.S. personnel or forces.
