RFI for Pharmacy Reverse Distribution Service

The Billings Area Indian Health Service is seeking information from qualified vendors to provide pharmacy reverse distribution services in Billings, Montana. The agency needs to facilitate the safe removal, return, and credit processing of expired and soon-to-expire pharmaceutical products, which include both controlled and non-controlled substances. This initiative aims to solve the problem of accumulating unusable medications by returning them to authorized manufacturers or wholesalers for eligible credits. The scope of work requires the selected vendor to perform on-site inventory of expired and soon-to-expire medications. The service provider must ensure the secure handling and segregation of controlled and non-controlled substances. Additionally, the agency requires the vendor to manage the packaging, transportation, return, and credit processing of all eligible pharmaceuticals. The agency restricts eligibility for this opportunity to Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises. Furthermore, the performing organization must be based in the United States, and the work must take place on-site in Billings, Montana. The agency is currently seeking proposals to determine the budget and has not disclosed a specific funding limit or key dates in the initial request.
