About this opportunity
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a sole source procurement of DataQ and ResQ database subscriptions from the National Council for Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP). Under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, CMS determined NCPDP is the only responsible source for providing essential pharmacy data files critical to the Drug Data Processing System (DDPS) for validating Prescription Drug Events (PDEs) and ensuring accurate Medicare Part D payments. The databases include pharmacy information such as NCPDP IDs, names, addresses, licensing details, and pharmacy types, which are delivered through weekly transaction files and monthly master files. NCPDP was selected because they are the industry consortium managing Electronic Data Interchange standards for U.S. pharmacies, and no alternative commercial source can provide the required databases. The contract (75FCMC25CJ004) was awarded on January 9, 2025, though the specific award amount was not disclosed in the documentation.
