About this opportunity

CIS (Cities Insurance Services), a public entity providing insurance and risk management services to Oregon cities, counties, and other public entities, is seeking a Pharmacy Benefit Management (PBM) services provider through a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process. The procurement aims to secure an experienced PBM to administer comprehensive services including electronic and paper claims processing, pharmacy network contracting, rebate administration, clinical support, and eligibility administration. Key deliverables include transparent pricing models, pass-through pricing options, specialty pharmacy services, and performance guarantees. Evaluation criteria will likely assess proposers' capabilities in pricing transparency, rebate administration, clinical support, and overall service quality. The RFP timeline indicates a proposal due date of December 16, 2022, with a preferred PBM notification expected by March 1, 2023, and a contract term beginning January 1, 2024. Mandatory requirements include providing both traditional and pass-through pricing models, identifying proprietary information, and demonstrating extensive PBM service capabilities.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types were explicitly mentioned in the documents. The current procurement does not appear to have a dedicated focus on disadvantaged business enterprises. No incumbent vendor was directly identified, though the RFP suggests CIS currently uses a PBM's standard formulary with specific exclusions. The procurement involves a self-funded client seeking PBM services, indicating potential complexity in integration requirements. While specific budget ranges were not disclosed, the RFP suggests the contract will involve managing pharmacy claims for CIS members, implying a potentially significant financial scope. The procurement process requires detailed pricing submissions, including traditional and pass-through models, which indicates the financial complexity of the potential contract. Proposers must demonstrate capability to handle pharmacy claims processing, network management, rebate administration, and provide comprehensive clinical support services.
