Gallatin County awards pharmacy contract for county rest home to Liberty Drug
Summary
The Gallatin County Commission approved a competitive sealed-bid contract awarding pharmacy services for the Gallatin County Rest Home to Liberty Drug after a selection committee review; the current provider Omnicare submitted a competing bid.
The Gallatin County Commission on May 27 voted to award the pharmacy services contract for the Gallatin County Rest Home to Liberty Drug following a competitive sealed-bid process.
The selection was presented by Darcel Vaughn, administrator of the Gallatin Rest Home, who told commissioners that two bids were received and “it's been a unanimous decision from the committee to offer Liberty.” The current provider, Omnicare, also submitted a bid.
The commission heard no public comment on the item and a commissioner moved to affirm the committee recommendation. The commission approved the motion by voice vote.
The decision assigns pharmacy services for the county-operated rest home to Liberty Drug; Vaughn said the county has not previously done a selection like this recently and staff handled the solicitation for the first time in a while.
No financial terms of the awarded contract were read into the record at the meeting, and commissioners did not request further changes to the procurement at the time of the vote.
The commission proceeded to the next agenda item after the vote.
