340B Program Integrity Audit

The State of Arizona is seeking a comprehensive 340B Program Integrity Audit, with proposals due by May 28, 2025. This procurement opportunity focuses on conducting a thorough examination of the state's 340B pharmaceutical pricing program, which requires a detailed review of compliance, pricing mechanisms, and program implementation across various healthcare facilities and participating providers. The audit will likely involve extensive document review, on-site assessments, data analysis, and reporting to ensure proper adherence to federal and state guidelines governing the 340B drug pricing program. Qualified vendors must demonstrate expertise in healthcare compliance, pharmaceutical pricing regulations, and comprehensive audit methodologies specific to 340B program requirements. Prospective bidders should prepare a detailed technical proposal that outlines their approach to program integrity, methodology for identifying potential discrepancies, and capabilities for delivering a comprehensive audit report. The evaluation criteria will presumably include vendor qualifications, technical approach, understanding of 340B program complexities, previous audit experience, and proposed project timeline.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly stated in the available information, healthcare audit firms with specialized knowledge in pharmaceutical pricing programs are likely to be the primary candidates for this contract. Potential respondents should be prepared to demonstrate significant experience with federal healthcare program audits, particularly those involving 340B drug pricing regulations. The contract may be structured to accommodate small, disadvantaged, or minority-owned businesses with proven expertise in healthcare compliance auditing. Although the exact budget range is not specified, similar 340B program integrity audits typically range from $75,000 to $250,000 depending on the complexity of the healthcare ecosystem and the depth of review required. Vendors should anticipate potential integration requirements with existing state healthcare data systems and be prepared to provide a comprehensive, actionable report that can help Arizona optimize its 340B program implementation and compliance mechanisms.
