Request Summary (Agenda Caption):
title
Request by Public Health Services for approval of an agreement with Avita Drugs to provide 340B Pharmaceutical Distribution Services for Harris County.
end
Background and Discussion:
Harris County Public Health seeks approval of an Addendum to the Agreement with Avita Drugs for 340B pharmaceutical distribution services. The Addendum incorporates three documents as part of the Agreement: the Agreement, Covered Entity Client Letter of Participation, and Agency Agreement. The Addendum establishes that it controls in the event of a conflict with the underlying Agreement and provides for a three-year initial term, followed by automatic one-year renewals.
Expected Impact:
Approval of the Addendum will establish the contractual terms under which Avita Drugs will provide 340B Pharmacy Distribution Services for Harris County. The three-year initial term with automatic one-year renewals will provide a defined contractual period for the services, subject to the terms of the Agreement and Addendum.
Alternative Options:
If the Addendum is not approved, Harris County Public Health will not be able to proceed with the 340B pharmaceutical distribution services through Avita Drugs.
