The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 456110 for Pharmacies and Drug Retailers encompasses businesses primarily engaged in retailing prescription and nonprescription drugs, medical supplies, and other health-related merchandise. This category includes pharmacies, drug stores, and pharmaceutical retailers that dispense medications, provide pharmaceutical consultations, and offer related healthcare services. The sector serves both individual consumers and institutional clients, including government healthcare facilities, veterans' homes, and correctional institutions.

Federal contract awards under this NAICS code demonstrate a diverse range of pharmaceutical services, predominantly for government healthcare systems. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is the most frequent awarding agency, with contracts typically ranging from $36,000 to $1,425,000 and durations spanning 12-24 months. Frequently awarded entities include D & R Pharmaceutical Services (a CVS Health subsidiary), Palisade Strategies, and various state veterans' homes. The awards predominantly use firm fixed-price contract types and are not set aside for specific business categories. Contract locations are primarily concentrated in states like Nevada, Louisiana, Kentucky, and Massachusetts, with services including pharmacy dispensing, medication compounding, and pharmaceutical supply management.

Recent federal contract opportunities in this NAICS category focus on specialized pharmacy services across various government agencies.
