Quick Summary
The Defense Health Agency (DHA), on behalf of the Department of Defense (DoD), has issued a Solicitation (RFQ HT9402-26-Q-9201) to establish Uniform Formulary Blanket Purchase Agreements (UF BPA) and Uniform Formulary Additional Discount Program (UF ADP) Agreements. This initiative aims to secure pharmaceutical agents for the Military Health System (MHS) Uniform Formulary. Quotes are due by April 2, 2026, at 12:00 PM CST.
Purpose & Scope
The DoD is legally mandated to maintain an effective and efficient pharmacy benefits program. This RFQ seeks price quotes for specific pharmaceutical agents within the Antihemophilic Agents - Non-Factor Agents and Leukemia and Lymphoma - BCR-ABL-TKI drug classes. The quotes will inform the DoD Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) Committee's decisions for the May 2026 meeting regarding formulary placement (Generic, Formulary, BCF, ECF, or Non-Formulary).
- UF BPA quotes will cover prices for Military Treatment Facilities (MTF) and TRICARE Mail Order Pharmacy (TMOP).
- UF ADP quotes will detail refunds for pharmaceutical agents dispensed by TRICARE retail network pharmacies.
Contract Details
- Opportunity Type: Solicitation (RFQ)
- Set-Aside: None
- Eligibility: Manufacturers must possess an existing FSS Contract Number or FSS Interim Agreement. Quotes for generic (multi-source) agents are not accepted if existing Joint DoD/Veterans Administration (VA) contracts are already in place.
- Agreement Period: UF BPA price quotes must be valid for 180 days. UF ADP refund quotes are contingent upon the agent's placement on the UF.
