A Clinical Product Team (CPT) will evaluate this product line. CPTs are composed of healthcare providers who have expertise and knowledge of the products and will review pro ducts and literature submitted. TRICARE Regions 6, 7 & 8 deem the CPT members to be medical experts. Therefore, they are qualified to define and establish product evaluation criteria and recommend which products are acceptable. The CPT recommendation ca n be based on literature review, presentation, demonstration, and/or clinical evaluation. Recommendations by the CPT will be at the sole discretion of the experts selected to review any offering. The drug(s) may or may not be listed on drug plan formular ies, and recommendations may be deferred pending further information. Regional Incentive Agreements (RIAs) can be exercised on the package size or bulk quantities deemed most advantageous to the Government. Vendors are required to propose an incentive pr ice in their submittals for each line item listed to be considered for award. Applicants must state the exact name (name that appears on label) by which the drug will be supplied and have a unique NDC number.

Any additional chargeback/rebate will be handled after the sale between the manufacturer and the appropriate DoD PPV. The chargeback/rebate process must be transparent to the MTF customer. The awardee will permit the DoD PPV to load the lower discounted incentive price into their Electronic Order Entry System (EOES). The MTF customer shall see the lower incentive price on the DoD PPV EOES screen. Under no circumstances shall the awardee attempt to charge the MTF customer the non-contract price (the higher initial price) and attempt to provide the difference via a chargeback/rebate after the sale. The awardee will assign a unique chargeback number to this Regional Incentive Agreement, to distinguish it from the original Government contract or other agreement price (i.e. Federal Supply Schedule (FSS), Distribution and Pricing Agreement (DAPA) etc.). To participate, please contact Charlene Reith not later than 30 December 2005 at the Tri-Service Regional Business Office (TRBO), Bldg 36 00, Room L34-1A, ATTN: SGLL-TRBO/Char lene Reith (210-916-6258), 3851 Roger Brooke Drive, San Antonio, TX 78234, e-mail: Charlene.Reith@amedd.army.mil.
