SUBJECT: | Reply_to Memorandum dated 10 November 2016, regardin;
Requirement for the Submission of GMP Certificate and License
to Operate (LTO) during Procurement
DATE: 10 February 2017
This refers to the memorandum received by this Office regarding your request for a written
position of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on whether or not current Good
Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) Certificate and License to Operate (LTO) must be required
during the bidding of pharmaceutical products.
Our position remains that the pre-requisites for the submission of applications for drug
registration include:
1) all local establishments involved in the distribution of product is licensed with FDA:
and
2) all drug manufacturers involved in the production (both local and abroad) have passed
the requirements of cGMP.
Any non-compliance, whether at the point of registration or during the validity of the
Certificate of Product Registration (CPR) issued shall be grounds for disapproval of the
application, cancellation of the CPR, issuance of product recall order for the concerned
product together with a public health advisory by the FDA.
In order to reduce the documentary review of the Central Office - Bids and Awards
Committee-C (COBAC-C), we recommend that only a valid CPR be the requirement during
biddings, with subsequent checking of any FDA Advisory on the concerned product for any
issue on the safety, efficacy, and quality.
Should you have inquiries on the status of cGMP and LTO of a drug product, you may
coordinate with the FDA representative to the COBAC-C Technical Working Group (TWG),
