    TakeAway Program Request for Proposal - Meghan Gavin.

    The Iowa Board of Pharmacy has been working with the Department of Administrative Services and issued a Request for Proposal for a vendor for the TakeAway Program. The Board received two responses and went through a review committee and scoring process as required by the state of Iowa's procurement process. The Board issued intent to award contract letters to both vendors.

    A contract was offered to the Iowa Pharmacy Association (IP A) to supply non-controlled substance receptacles, which is currently being used for the TakeAway Program. A contract to supply DEA-compliant controlled substance receptacles was offered to another vendor.

    The current contract with IPA will terminate on June 30, 2016. New contracts would have began on July 1, 2016, but IP A has appealed the intent to award the contracts and contract negotiations are stayed. The appeal process will delay the execution of the contracts. A hearing is set for August 11, 2016. A decision regarding the appeal will be decided by an Administrative Law Judge.

    As part of the current contract through IP A, the Board pre-purchased receptacles. The program will continue beginning July 1, 2016, with board staff assuming the responsibility of administering the program. It is estimated that there are enough receptacles to administer the program until October 2016.
