Pharmaceutical Services for Residents of Badger Prairie Health Care Center

The County of Dane is soliciting proposals for comprehensive pharmaceutical services for the residents of the Badger Prairie Health Care Center, with an estimated annual funding level of 125,000 dollars. The selected provider will be responsible for medication dispensing workflows, daily deliveries, and stat order responses within one hour. Key operational requirements include the use of a 30-day cycle-fill blister card system, the provision of barcode scanning equipment, and the maintenance of 24/7 pharmacist availability. Integration of services is scheduled to begin on November 1, 2026. The provider must also manage a secure online communication portal for prescriptions and conduct monthly medication distribution system reviews with the Director of Nursing. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the County's eProcurement Portal by October 22, 2026. The award will be determined by a points-based evaluation focusing on organizational qualifications, service delivery, staffing, technology, quality assurance, reporting, and cost. Local preference points are available for vendors located in Dane County or adjacent counties. Billing is structured such that the provider bills private pay clients, Medicaid, and Medicare Part D directly, while the facility is billed for equipment rentals, house liability items, and specific vaccines. All required materials and compliance steps must be provided at zero direct cost to the facility.
