Opportunity Overview
The New Jersey Division of Purchase and Property (DPP) has an open procurement for T2679 – Employee Benefits: Pharmacy Benefits Management, Bid Solicitation 27DPP01337. The procurement is an open RFP and permits electronic quotes through NJSTART.
Deadline and Amendment Status
Bid Amendment #2, posted September 17, 2026, revised the bid-opening/quote deadline to October 7, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. NJSTART displays 2:00:59 p.m. on the bid header. The accessible official solicitation page does not state a time zone, so Atlas does not infer one.
Contract Structure
NJSTART identifies the purchase method as a State contract and shows a prospective contract term of December 31, 2027 through December 30, 2031. The current public header does not state a contract dollar value. Prospective bidders must use the controlling solicitation, amendments, State forms, security requirements, and NJSTART submission mechanics rather than relying on this summary.
Healthcare Relevance
This is a specialized pharmacy-benefit-management procurement affecting prescription-drug benefit administration and medication access. It is healthcare-relevant, but it requires PBM-specific operational, regulatory, network, pricing, data-security, and State-procurement capability that must be established from the full controlling solicitation before any organization is treated as qualified.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 86/100. The opportunity is strategically relevant to healthcare and pharmacy operations, but the prime-contractor qualification bar is specialized and materially different from an ordinary grant or clinical-services opportunity.
N9+ Solution/Partner Fit: 0/100. Dr. Miltie Direct Vendor Fit: 0/100. QC Healthcare Fit: 0/100 on currently verified evidence. Nothing in the public NJSTART header or existing source-control record establishes a defensible N9+, Dr. Miltie, or QC Healthcare bid path. Any candidate pursuit must remain contingent on direct review of the full current solicitation and independently verified PBM qualifications.
Next Action
Qualified pharmacy-benefit-management vendors should retrieve and review the complete current solicitation and amendments in NJSTART, map every mandatory requirement, verify registration and compliance status, and complete the electronic quote before the amended deadline.
