    This document is an amendment to Solicitation HT9402-25-Q-9404 from the Defense Health Agency, dated October 22, 2025. The purpose of this amendment is to update the classification of the drug Inluriyo. Previously categorized as "Oncological Agents," Inluriyo has been reclassified as "Breast Cancer Agents – Estrogen Receptor Antagonist."

    The Department of Defense (DoD) has finalized a rule clarifying the formulary placement process for newly approved innovator drugs within the TRICARE Pharmacy Benefits Program. Effective August 26, 2015, the Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) Committee has up to 120 days to recommend tier placement for FDA-approved drugs, including new molecular entities, active ingredients, dosage forms, and combinations. Drugs approved on or after this date will have a pending status and be treated as non-formulary. The DHA Director holds final approval authority for P&T Committee recommendations. Cost-effectiveness is a key evaluation factor, with the government soliciting quotes for newly approved drugs. Drugs are assigned to Tier 1, 2, 3, or 4/Not Covered based on clinical and cost-effectiveness data. Innovator drugs are generally Tier 3 and require medical necessity for availability at Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs) or a lower copay at retail pharmacies. The DoD will not accept clinical presentations from manufacturers due to the volume of new drugs.
