RFQ/P #47-010 On-Site Pharmacy Services Provider

Hall County, Georgia is issuing Request for Qualifications with Cost Proposal (RFQ/P) #47-010 to procure on-site pharmacy services at the Hall County Government Family Health Center Clinic in Gainesville, Georgia. The County seeks a single qualified vendor to provide comprehensive pharmacy services to approximately 3,005 eligible individuals, including 1,826 Co-Pay Plan members, 996 HSA Plan members, and 183 Medicare Advantage Plan members age 65 and older who are enrolled in the County's group health insurance plans. Bidders must address 80 scored evaluation questions covering experience, qualifications, management structure, client references, technology capabilities, HIPAA compliance, performance metrics, and financial projections while submitting a separate sealed cost proposal. The evaluation methodology employs an 80/20 scoring structure allocating 800 points (80%) for technical qualifications and 200 points (20%) for cost, with award going to the highest-scoring bidder. Questions are due May 13, 2026, with responses issued May 19, 2026, and sealed proposals must be submitted by June 4, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The contract will have an initial one-year term beginning January 1, 2027, with four additional one-year renewal options that are not automatic or guaranteed. Vendors must demonstrate capability to stock and dispense a specified formulary of 25 medications across multiple therapeutic categories and must propose detailed startup costs, ongoing operational costs, preferred billing methodology, drug pricing basis, dispensing fees, and administration fees.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions based on organizational type or disadvantaged enterprise status. Bidders must provide comprehensive mandatory documentation including a signed Contract for Services (Exhibit B), W-9 Form, E-Verify Affidavit, Ethics Affidavit, and Cost Proposal Worksheet, along with proof of insurance requirements including Workers' Compensation ($500,000), General Liability ($2,000,000), Umbrella Liability ($1,000,000), and Cyber Insurance ($1,000,000), with Hall County named as additional insured. No incumbent vendor or current contractor information is provided in the solicitation materials. The contract specifies that Hall County is exempt from Georgia Sales and Use Tax, and the County retains the right to terminate the contract for convenience with 60 days' written notice or for cause immediately. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the available documentation, though the cost proposal will be weighted at 20% of the total evaluation score, suggesting cost competitiveness is a significant but secondary factor relative to technical qualifications.
