RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent on behalf of the Health Services Director, to execute a Purchase Order with Cardinal Health Pharmacy Services, LLC in an amount not to exceed $25,000,000 to purchase pharmaceuticals and related supplies for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC), Contra Costa Health Centers, Martinez Detention Facility and Contra Costa Health Plan, for the period from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this purchase order will result in annual expenditures of up to $25,000,000, and will be funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues.

BACKGROUND:

CCRMC is satisfied with Cardinal Health Pharmacy Services, LLC as a vendor and wishes to continue its working relationship with this company. Cardinal Health Pharmacy Services, LLC, provides three different purchasing contracts: WAC (Wholesaler Acquisition Cost) accounts (Inpatient 34-18446;), Vizient for the hospital (110459), as well as the Public Health System contract for 340B (federal-ceiling pricing for disproportionate share facilities) for ambulatory care.  



BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
  
A Cardinal Health Pharmacy Services, LLC contract renewal allows CCRMC to purchase medications and related supplies at the best price through Vizient. Furthermore, Contra Costa Health Plan uses Cardinal Health as their source to provide medications for their patients through 340B plan via contract pharmacies (i.e., Walgreens). Having Cardinal as our wholesaler maximizes the cost savings for CCRMC and Clinics.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this purchase order is not approved, the Hospital's Pharmacy, as well as all Ambulatory Care Pharmacies within CCRMC will not be able to receive drugs from this wholesaler, resulting in a much higher cost for pharmaceuticals.
