Mandatory requirements include being in good standing with the Texas State Comptroller and holding active licensure from the Texas Board of Pharmacy, DEA, and Texas DPS. Pricing is structured via a tiered markup system based on average wholesale acquisition cost, a 1.50 dollar dispensing fee, and a 700 dollar per-billing-cycle fee. Proposals must be submitted electronically to Jessie Campbell by August 21, 2026, and must include a notarized affidavit of independence and a signed data use agreement. The resulting contract will require adherence to Texas and federal controlled substance laws and a seven-year record retention policy.
