Health & Medical
Health & Medical related spending by the Federal Government continues to increase. This presents opportunities for companies across the Health & Medical industry. We have assisted a broad array of companies in this industry including Health Insurers, Pharmaceuticals and Medical Device, Supplies & Equipment manufacturers to successfully obtain and perform Federal contracts.
Health, Dental, Vision & Pharmacy Benefit Insurers
Insurers have seen considerable consolidation both in the industry, as well as in the U.S. Government contract opportunities available to these companies over the past decade. Two of the larger government buyers, the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have continued to consolidate regions increasing both the value of these contracts and the competition to secure a contract award. Victura professionals have served clients in this industry for over 15 years. We have an in-depth understanding of both the operational functions and the associated operating costs in this industry, as well as knowledge of the program requirements for the major DoD and CMS contracts. We understand the competitive landscape for these high-stake opportunities and have the experience and expertise assisting clients to pursuit these contracts.

Pharmaceuticals
The Pharmaceutical industry has historically played a role in contracting with the Federal Government for the development of products to protect the general overall health and well-being of the nation. Since the events of 9/11, the Federal Government is increasingly seeking new products from the Pharmaceutical industry to address potential bio-terrorism threats. In addition, new health risks periodically emerge such as Avian Flu, Ebola and Zika Virus, for which there is an immediate need for development of a product to combat these risks.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and more specifically the National Institute of Health (NIH) has been a partner in supporting this industry in their R&D efforts. Increasingly, more contracting opportunities have resulted from HHS’ Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) and the DoD’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to combat the threat of bioterrorism. We have supported a number of Pharmaceutical companies in various aspects of the federal contract process ranging from traditional contracts to Other Transaction Authority (OTA) contracts.
