Emergency Final Costs: Pharmacy Benefit Management System (PBMS)

This is a final cost notification for an emergency procurement conducted by the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services. Rather than a new solicitation, this notice documents the closure and final costs of Emergency Procurement B-42259/P-67263, which was awarded to Change Healthcare Pharmacy Solutions, Inc. under contract reference number 26-478HFS-MEDPR-B-51696. The contract period ran from March 17, 2024, through December 14, 2025, covering 638 days of service delivery. The emergency procurement was conducted pursuant to 30 ILCS 500/20-30(b), which authorizes emergency contracting procedures that bypass standard competitive solicitation requirements. The final total cost for supplies and services delivered under this emergency contract was $10,176,353.52. The notice was completed and executed by Agency Procurement Officer Monique N. Wantland on March 25, 2026, and serves as official notification to the Chief Procurement Office and the Auditor General of the contract closure and associated expenditures.

This procurement notice carries no application deadline for new vendors, as it documents a completed emergency contract rather than an open solicitation opportunity. The incumbent contractor, Change Healthcare Pharmacy Solutions, Inc., has already fulfilled the entire contract term with the final costs now formally documented and reported. No set-asides, restrictions on bidder eligibility, or disadvantaged enterprise designations are applicable to this notice, as it represents closure documentation for a concluded emergency procurement. The total contract value of $10,176,353.52 has been fully expended over the 638-day contract period, equating to approximately $15,948 per day of service. This notice was posted on March 30, 2026, with an April 13, 2026 due date, which appears to relate to administrative acknowledgment or filing requirements rather than a competitive bidding deadline.
