About the company
Express Scripts Inc., a for-profit pharmacy benefit management company headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, operates as a prime contractor delivering pharmaceutical supplies, emergency prescription assistance, and pharmacy benefit administration services to federal civilian and defense health agencies on a full-and-open basis, with no set-aside designations across its prime portfolio.
Express Scripts is owned by parent company Evernorth Health, Inc. and operates multiple subsidiaries including Matrix Healthcare Services, Curascript, Priority Healthcare Distribution, and Express Scripts Specialty Distribution Services. The vendor competes exclusively as a prime contractor; all 818 awards in the source are prime contracts, with zero subcontract positions. SCI-reported federal service-contract invoicing totals $24 thousand across FY2022–FY2025, with 0.1 FTEs delivered in FY2024; this narrow SCI footprint reflects that Express Scripts' federal revenue is dominated by goods procurement (pharmaceuticals and medical supplies) rather than service contracts above the $150,000 SCI reporting threshold.
The Defense Health Agency dominates Express Scripts' federal customer base by dollar value, accounting for 21 awards with $13.76 billion in combined potential value—virtually 100% of the vendor's total combined potential value of $13.85 billion. This concentration reflects Express Scripts' role as the TRICARE pharmacy benefit manager, a critical national health security function. The Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response ranks second, with 34 awards totaling $75.6 million in combined potential value, driven by the Emergency Prescription Assistance Program (EPAP) single-award indefinite delivery contract valued at $19.94 million (ceiling through August 4, 2027). Veterans Affairs medical centers and integrated service networks contribute smaller volumes—26 aggregated awards across multiple VISNs totaling approximately $653 thousand combined potential value, primarily for specialty pharmaceutical procurement (sodium oxybate, XYWAV, radiopharmaceuticals).
Express Scripts holds prime positions on five parent indefinite delivery vehicles: the TRICARE Pharmacy Services IDC (HT940214D0002) with 17 task orders totaling $5.26 billion, the EPAP IDC (75A50222D00004) with 13 task orders totaling $7.9 million, the EPAP maintenance IDC (HHSO100201600013I) with 15 task orders totaling $6.2 million, a VA pharmacy IDC (V797P9130) with 61 task orders totaling $68 thousand, and the GSA Federal Acquisition Service MAS with one $20 thousand task order.
Concrete recent work includes the $120.2 million TRICARE Pharmacy Services Option Period 9 delivery order awarded October 26, 2022 (ultimate completion March 20, 2025); the $336.7 million TRICARE Option Period 8 delivery order awarded April 19, 2022 (ultimate completion March 19, 2025); a $3 million EPAP delivery order for Hurricane Helene response in North Carolina counties (November 14, 2024); a $1 million EPAP delivery order for Hurricane Helene response in Georgia counties (November 14, 2024); and recurring $10.2 thousand VA specialty pharmacy purchase orders for XYWAV and sodium oxybate across multiple VISNs. EPAP delivery orders employ both firm fixed-price and cost-no-fee pricing structures, ranging from $36 thousand to $3 million per task order.
Activity has been modest and uneven—17 awards in 2022, 7 in 2023, 20 in 2024, 2 in 2025, and 3 in 2026—with no pronounced growth trajectory. Recompete exposure is minimal: only two awards (combined potential value $427 thousand) complete in the next twenty-four months, reflecting the long-term stability of TRICARE and EPAP vehicle positions.
Express Scripts' capability portfolio centers on pharmacy benefit management, prescription drug administration for defense and civilian health programs, pharmaceutical supply distribution during public health emergencies, specialty pharmacy operations, and durable medical equipment provision. Place of performance spans Washington, DC; Normandy, Missouri; Los Angeles, California; and St. Louis, Missouri, with administrative oversight at the Normandy facility. The vendor's category concentration is heavy in PSC codes for Drugs and Biologicals (665 awards) and Medical and Surgical Instruments and Supplies (55 awards), with NAICS concentration in Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing (125 awards) and Pharmacies and Drug Stores (56 awards), reflecting the goods-dominant nature of the work.
