Questions/Answers

1. The RFP is due on 6/22 with start work date of 7/1, which leaves very little time between an award and the start date. There are numerous items a new contractor would have to do once an award is made such as setting up and testing the network, training the retail pharmacy staff on the new program, educating call center folks on new program, designing vouchers, programing the authorized providers, establishing protocols with the COR and other pharmacy staff, etc. Our company prefers 30-45 days to complete this implementation process for new contracts.

What is the expected number of days from date of award a contractor is expected to be fully implemented?

COR and pharmacy staff will work with contractor to help in the transition. So if it takes 30-45 days we will work together.

1. Is the offeror expected to submit both B.2 SCHEDULE OF SUPPLIES/SERVICES OF THIS CONTRACT and B.3 PRICE/COST SCHEDULE ITEM INFORMATION with their quote? If so, can you please help us understand how to complete B.3?

In this soliciting there is not a flat unit price. The price of each prescription is dependent on the pharmaceutical and quantity that is prescribed. Could you please provide us with some historical data we could use to determine an average until price based on historical data? For example:

Estimated total number of prescription fills for 1 year is 15,000 prescriptions of which 14,000 Generic and 1,000 are Brand Name. The estimated historical average wholesale price (AWP), before discount, for a generic drug is $50. The estimated historical average wholesale price (AWP), before discount, for a brand name drug is $450.

If we had this information, we could calculate an average unit price based on our discounts and fees and complete table B.3 based on this information.

All that is needed is your AWP % for brand and generic and any dispensing and administrations fees contractor may have.
