Opportunity Overview
The Tennessee Department of Disability and Aging has issued RFP 34401-99598, Pharmacy Services West and Middle Tennessee, to provide pharmacy services for residents of Intermediate Care Facilities for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities, community group homes, and the Harold Jordan Center.
Funding
The maximum liability of the resulting five-year contract is $1,000,000, including drug costs and dispensing fees.
Scope
The required services include medication dispensing in unit-dose packaging, medication review required for ICF/IID settings, billing to Medicare Part D, TennCare Medicaid and the State as applicable, controlled-substance oversight, pharmacist consultation, medication-delivery support, and compatibility with electronic medication administration records, e-prescribing systems and current EHR platforms.
Deadline
Responses are due September 25, 2026 at 2:00 PM Central Time.
Qualifications and References
The response package includes mandatory certifications and assurances, technical qualifications and experience, a cost proposal, information-security requirements, a current bank reference, and three reference questionnaires from comparable projects. Respondents must establish the operational and regulatory capability needed to perform long-term-care pharmacy services.
N9+ / Dr. Miltie Relevance
N9+ Fit: 0/100. The verified procurement is for licensed pharmacy operations and medication-management infrastructure, not telehealth or remote physical examination. Dr. Miltie is not advanced as a direct respondent because the available company record does not establish the required pharmacy operating capability and comparable pharmacy references.
Next Steps
Qualified pharmacy providers should review the full RFP and pro forma contract, complete the technical and cost responses, obtain the required bank and customer references, verify all information-security and regulatory requirements, and submit by the stated deadline.
