About this opportunity

The Department of Defense (DoD) Defense Health Agency is issuing a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the DoD Pharmacy Uniform Formulary Blanket Purchase Agreement/Uniform Formulary Additional Discount Program. The RFQ solicits pricing and discount quotes from pharmaceutical manufacturers for newly approved drugs across several therapeutic drug classes. These quotes will be evaluated by the DoD Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) Committee in November 2024 to determine formulary placement and cost-sharing tier classification. Quotes are due by October 16, 2024, and a pre-quotation teleconference is scheduled for October 2, 2024. The Defense Health Agency may award Uniform Formulary Blanket Purchase Agreements and Uniform Formulary Additional Discount Program Agreements based on the P&T Committee's decisions.

This is an unrestricted competition with no set-aside. The contracting office is located in San Antonio, TX. The RFQ does not identify any potential incumbent contractors. The contract values will be determined based on the P&T Committee's formulary decisions and the pricing/discount quotes received from manufacturers. The RFQ covers a variety of newly approved drugs across several therapeutic classes, including corticosteroids, ADHD agents, antihypertensives, and oncology agents.
