Price Sources

Most supplier prices in this Guide do not include insurance and transportation charges. The buyer (government agency international competitive bidding, or tender) prices usually do include insurance and transportation charges. For more information, please see the "price type" for each supplier and agency in the tables below.

Some suppliers charge a standard handling fee in addition to their catalogue price. The handling fees in the tables below have been added to the prices listed in this Guide.

Two primary types of suppliers and buyers are included in the Guide.

  • Buyers. These are usually government agency international competitive bidding, or tender, prices from public sector sources. These are actual prices obtained by the organizations listed and are included for information purposes. It is not possible for a reader to place an order with any of these organizations. These prices should not be used as international reference prices since they may only be available to the organization conducting the tender or procurement. This is especially true in domestic tenders, because local manufacturers may not sell internationally.
  • Suppliers. This includes organizations who maintain a warehouse and supply items directly to customers. All of these suppliers provide a wider range of products than shown in this Guide. For a complete list of products, contact the vendor directly. This type also includes procurement agencies that negotiate prices and place purchase orders for client nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), private voluntary organizations (PVOs), and Ministries of Health (MOHs). They may often order from a vendor such as those listed in the Guide. They may charge a fee for their service over and above the drug's CIF price. Finally, suppliers are also international development organizations that provide commodities to country programs that they and others support.
