First, review the eligibility requirements for the Drug Distributor Accreditation. If you determine your business meets these requirements for accreditation, then apply for a Supply Chain Inspection indicating your interest in Drug Distributor Accreditation. Based on the Supply Chain Inspection results and submitted documentation, we will confirm if you are eligible to apply for Drug Distributor Accreditation.

After completing a Supply Chain Inspection, you will be notified of your eligibility to apply for accreditation. If eligible, submit an online application and pay the program fees. You may receive a Post-Survey Letter outlining corrective actions and/or P&Ps to submit. Once your facility meets the accreditation standards, you will be awarded Drug Distributor Accreditation (or reaccreditation). This marks the start of your 3-year accreditation.
Prior to your accreditation anniversary date, you will start your annual compliance review, which includes submitting a renewal application, paying program fees, and attesting with the accreditation standards. We will reach out to you to start this review process.

We will contact you several months prior to your 3-year accreditation end date to start the reaccreditation process.
To maintain your Drug Distributor Accreditation status, keep these tips in mind:
Drug Distributor Accreditation is issued for a 3-year term.
Prior to the end of the 3-year accreditation, you will need to start the reaccreditation process, noted below.
The reaccreditation process is similar to the initial Drug Distributor Accreditation steps:
Apply and complete the Supply Chain Inspection.
Receive a reaccreditation letter to apply.
Submit the reaccreditation application for one or multiple accreditations with your business e-Profile account.
Accredited facilities must begin the reaccreditation process before their current accreditation expires. We encourage facilities to seek reaccreditation for a new, 3-year period during the third year of your facility’s Drug Distributor Accreditation. Failure to promptly reply to the completion of reaccreditation deliverables may result in the loss of accreditation.
Prior to your accreditation anniversary date (expiration date of your current 3-year accreditation), we will contact you to begin the reaccreditation process and will provide guidelines to help you with the process.
