CHANGE ORDER - ADAP Dispensing Contract Amendment #2 - CVS

This contract opportunity is a change order to extend the existing agreement between the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) and Procare Pharmacy for the Ryan White Part B AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP). The change order extends the contract by 6 months, from June 30, 2021 to December 31, 2021, and increases the contract value by $13 million. The contract provides for the dispensing of brand and bio-equivalent multi-source pharmaceuticals to over 14,000 eligible individuals diagnosed with HIV/AIDS through the ADAP program. The additional $13 million in funding includes $10 million for pharmaceutical deductibles and co-payments and $3 million for dispensing fees. The ADAP program utilizes 340B pricing for the wholesale purchase of pharmaceuticals and bills Medicare Part D and Medicaid when applicable to conserve limited program resources. This change order is necessary to ensure eligible individuals throughout the state can continue to obtain life-prolonging drugs and therapies in a cost-effective manner. The due date for this change order is July 8, 2021.

This contract opportunity is limited to the incumbent vendor, Procare Pharmacy, as it is a change order to an existing agreement. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the type of organization that can respond. The current contract value is not provided, but the change order increases the total contract value by $13 million. If this contract amendment is not approved, the ADAP program would have no means to provide these critical HIV-related drugs and therapies to eligible individuals.
