Description

Previously, The Department of Defense, TRICARE Management Activity (TMA), had notified industry that it was in the process of developing a solicitation for consolidated pharmacy benefit services. The acquisition would have consolidated the existing National Mail Order Pharmacy (NMOP) program and retail pharmacy services into one benefit. Based upon questions and comments received at the industry form, held on September 26, 2001, the Government has decided to separately compete these two benefits. A solicitation will be issued for Mail Order Pharmacy Services as a single national contract. The government will also solicit and compete for a separate National Retail Pharmacy Services contract at a later date. Both benefits have the potential of providing pharmacy services to approximately 8.5 million beneficiaries within the 50 United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam. The Mail Order Pharmacy portion of the contract will take effect October 6, 2002. A firm schedule for implementing the retail pharmacy portion of the contract has not yet been determined.
