AM 4 to Contract 163-23.pdf

This is an Addendum to Contract 163-23 issued by the Idaho Division of Juvenile Corrections (IDJC) in conjunction with the Idaho Division of Purchasing (DOP) regarding Prescription Filling & Pharmacy Services and Enhanced Clinical Services. The IDJC is seeking a one-time exemption from competitive procurement to extend pharmacy services at its Juvenile Correction Centers. The services include prescription filling, chart review services, and enhanced clinical support that cannot be provided internally due to staffing limitations. The agency is pursuing a contract extension through the MMCAP purchasing consortium and is requesting a six-month exemption or until a new contract can be established. The procurement is time-sensitive, with the current interim contract set to expire on September 30, 2023, and a proposal due date of September 15, 2023. The contract extension is intended to serve as a bridge until a long-term solution can be implemented.

The anticipated cost for the six-month extension is approximately $66,000, which encompasses base prescription filling services plus enhanced clinical services at an additional $1,000 per month. The incumbent vendor is Correct Rx Pharmacy Services, Inc., which currently provides the interim pharmacy services. Standard State of Idaho insurance requirements apply, requiring the contractor to maintain commercial general liability, commercial automobile liability, and workers' compensation insurance, with the State and its agencies named as additional insureds. The DOP Administrator retains full discretionary power to approve or deny the exemption request, with no right of appeal available to suppliers. The exemption from competitive bidding allows the agency to procure services with limited or no competitive process, and suppliers are invited to submit information supporting or contradicting the claim that competition would be impractical or disadvantageous to the State.
