Pharmaceutical Services for Inmates at PWMRADC

Prince William County is soliciting proposals for comprehensive pharmaceutical services for incarcerated individuals at the Prince William-Manassas Regional Adult Detention Center. The selected contractor must provide as-needed pharmaceutical care in compliance with Virginia Statutes, National Commission on Correctional Health Care standards, and the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. Key requirements include maintaining DEA registration for Schedules II through V controlled substances, providing 24/7 pharmacist availability for consultation, and conducting quarterly inspections of pharmacy storage areas. The scope of work mandates strict delivery timelines, including daily deliveries Monday through Saturday, 24/7 emergency STAT orders at no additional cost, and specific turnaround times for new prescriptions and over-the-counter medications. Medications must adhere to rigorous packaging and labeling standards, with oral medications generally required in blister packaging and refrigerated items maintained in temperature-controlled environments. The contract emphasizes technical quality over price during the evaluation process, though cost remains a factor as technical merit equalizes. Awardees must meet comprehensive insurance requirements, including professional liability and workers compensation, and adhere to strict confidentiality protocols regarding patient information. Invoicing is processed net 30 via ACH, and the contractor is required to maintain a continuous monitoring system to report drug interactions and improve the quality of care.
