M24003 Notice of Opportunity: Pharmacy Board-Approved Inspectors

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, through its Department of Public Health, is establishing a list of qualified vendors to act as “Board‑approved inspectors” for non‑resident pharmacy licensure inspections. Vendors must provide licensed pharmacist inspectors who will conduct on‑site compliance inspections for drug‑store, sterile compounding, complex non‑sterile compounding, and nuclear pharmacies, collecting inspection fees directly from the pharmacy applicants. No reimbursement or funding is provided by the state; the vendor bears all costs and retains the inspection fees. The opportunity remains open until June 30 2033, with the possibility of vendor approval lasting up to ten years. • Perform on‑site inspections for multiple non‑resident pharmacy types, adhering to USP and Massachusetts standards. • Must employ U.S.‑licensed pharmacists with ≥10 years experience and ≥3 years specific inspection experience. • Vendors are prohibited from subcontracting; all inspections must be performed by the vendor’s staff. • Provide inspection tools/forms for Board approval and manage fee collection from pharmacy applicants.
