About this file

This is a Request for Sole Source Authorization (SSA) submitted by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) to the Idaho Department of Administration, Division of Purchasing, for the procurement of Wildlife Compounded Pharmaceuticals from Wedgewood Pharmacy LLC (formerly Zoopharm). The request seeks authorization to purchase specialized pharmaceutical compounds including BAM (Butorphanol, Azaperone, and Medetomidine), NalMed-A (Nalbuphine, Medetomidine, and Azaperone), Thiafentanil, and Etorphine HCl in specific concentrations formulated for wildlife anesthesia during big game capture, collaring, and relocation operations. The contract term is proposed from February 1, 2025, through January 31, 2030 (five years), with anticipated renewals, and IDFG has indicated a continuing business need for these specialized products. The SSA request was submitted on January 8, 2025, signed by Stacey Dauwalter and Doug Peterson of IDFG.

The estimated annual cost for these compounded pharmaceuticals is $100,000, resulting in a total contract value of approximately $500,000 over the five-year term. Wedgewood Pharmacy LLC is identified as the sole qualified provider because it is the only FDA-approved manufacturer and distributor equipped to compound these drugs in the specialized concentrations required for projectile administration in wildlife management. IDFG has documented that inquiries to alternative suppliers such as MWI and other standard compounding pharmacies confirmed that these non-standard concentrations are not available through typical veterinary practice channels. This sole source authorization represents a renewal and transition from the original Zoopharm relationship established in 2011, as Wedgewood Pharmacy LLC has acquired Zoopharm's operations. IDFG has certified sufficient appropriation balances for the purchase and has committed to conducting a business and financial analysis prior to any additional renewals beyond the initial five-year term.

Do you anticipate the need for renewals: Yes
and each renewalamendment and total value to date See SSA Instructions for examples: We have had a sole source in place with Zoopharm for compounded pharmaceuticals since 2011. Zoopharm has been bought by Wedgewood Pharmacy LLC. and will now be the sole source for the compounded pharmaceuticals we require and purchase.
1: Compounded Wildlife Pharmaceuticals, specifically BAM tB0 mg/ml Butorphanol, 12 mg/ml Azaperone, 122 mg/ml Medetomidine), NalMed-A (40 mg/ml Nalbuphine, 10 mg/ml Medetomidine, 10 mg/ml Azaperone), Thiafentanil (10 mg/ml), and Etorphine HIC (10 mg/ml)
2: IDFG Requires Pharmaceutical compounding for routine big game anesthesia during capture, collaring, and relocation efforts as part of wildlife management and research.
4: Several of these drugs are extremely specialized and restricted use for large wildlife and zoo animal chemical immobilization. Wedgewood Pharmaceuticals is the only FDA approved provider for several of these products and the only pharmacy equipped to compound several of these drugs in higher concentrations specifically for projectile administration that is essential for IDFG personnel safety.
possible suppliers: Our requests are not common concentrations for private veterinary practice and therefore typical compounding pharmacies are unable to accommodate our product requests. We have made inquiries to MWI and other compounding pharmacies.
