American Society Of Health-System Pharmacists Inc.

American Society of Health-System Pharmacists Inc. (doing business as ASHP) is a non-profit organization headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, that serves as the primary accreditation body for pharmacy residency programs and provides specialized pharmacy training, drug shortage information services, and professional standards enforcement to federal healthcare agencies as a prime contractor across 41 distinct customer agencies, competing full-and-open without set-aside designations.

ASHP's federal footprint centers on three concrete service lines: pharmacy residency program accreditation services, virtual training on sterile compounding compliance, and drug shortage information data feeds. Representative work includes ongoing accreditation fee arrangements with Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 (a $250,000 single-award IDV through December 31, 2027, with delivery orders spanning multiple VA Medical Centers across Pennsylvania at $4,900 to $7,425 per facility per year); virtual sterile compounding training with VISN 10 (a $102,060 single-award IDV through July 2027, with delivery orders at $18,145 to $19,425 for compliance training); a $630,621 drug database licensing contract with the National Library of Medicine through June 2027; and a $3.0 million FDA Center for Drug Evaluation and Research project grant (awarded September 25, 2025, completing August 31, 2028) to identify drugs vulnerable to supply-chain shortage or fraud and develop production strategies for outsourcing facilities. ASHP also holds a $1.9 million workforce resilience training grant from the Bureau of Health Professionals (2022–2025).

Customer concentration clusters heavily within the Veterans Health Administration across multiple VISNs. The top five funding agencies by award count account for 19% of recent awards and include the Indian Health Service (70 awards, $417 thousand combined potential value), VISN 10 (56 awards, $982 thousand), VISN 4 (56 awards, $955 thousand), VISN 7 (56 awards, $425 thousand), and VISN 23 (51 awards, $453 thousand). By potential-value ranking, VISN 10 and VISN 4 anchor 29% of combined potential value across the portfolio, with additional dollars concentrated at VISN 8 ($690 thousand), VISN 9 ($504 thousand), and VISN 23 ($453 thousand). The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration dominates both volume and dollar concentration — ASHP carries single-award IDVs with multiple VISNs, indicating established sole-source relationships.

ASHP's vehicle position reflects deep penetration of VA service networks. The top parent vehicles are VA indefinite delivery contracts: 36C24423D0007 (18 task orders, $169 thousand combined potential value), 36C24418D0078 (10 task orders, $153 thousand), and 36C24C19D0002 (5 task orders, $34 thousand). The Indian Health Service maintains a blanket purchase agreement (HHSI242201200068B) with 4 task orders valued at $14 thousand. These are predominantly single-award vehicles where ASHP operates as the sole identified provider.

Activity has grown modestly — 10 awards in 2022 to 15 in 2025, with 11 awards in 2026 year-to-date. Eighteen awards (combined potential value $1.2 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore present recompete exposure. The source reports 1,523 total awards in the portfolio with combined potential value of $12.2 million, though obligated dollars ($20.6 million) exceed potential value, indicating historical invoicing across multiple contract periods and option years.

ASHP competes full-and-open across all named awards; no set-aside designations appear in the portfolio. The organization's category concentration reflects its mission: 537 awards fall under Business Associations NAICS, 138 under Professional Organizations, and 67 under Educational Support Services. PSC coding emphasizes professional support, certifications, and accreditations (296 awards), education and training fees (255 awards), and educational institution accreditations (150 awards). ASHP carries no subcontract footprint in the source data — 100% of awards are prime.
