Apply for Supply Chain Inspection

First, apply for a Supply Chain Inspection. Once your application, required documentation, and specified fees have been received and reviewed and you have agreed to the terms and conditions:

• NABP conducts an unannounced on-site inspection within 8 weeks.
• All business e-Profile information is accessible to the state boards of pharmacy to view.
• The board staff receives alerts when new documents are available on the business e-Profile for facilities that are licensed and or seeking licensure.
• State boards will be contacted if an inspection will be completed in their state and resident state inspectors may observe. 

Follow these steps to submit a Supply Chain Inspection application.

1. Ensure that your facility is eligible. 
2. Log in to your business e-Profile and apply for a Supply Chain Inspection.
   • Review the information needed and basic instructions when creating your business e-Profile.
   • Use this guide to request access to additional Business e-Profile accounts, after creating your initial e-Profile. 
3. When the request for an e-Profile ID is approved, complete the full profile for your facility in the My Business e-Profile section. The information is needed before an inspection application can be completed.
4. Log in to your business e-Profile and complete the Policy and Procedure (P&P) Overview document in its entirety, which can be found in the Instructions and FAQs section of e-Profile. Gather all P&Ps referenced in the document and save all files, including the completed P&P Overview. The files will be uploaded in the Supply Chain Inspection application. 
5. Gather supporting documents for the application.
6. Start an application by clicking the Application tile on your business e-Profile dashboard. Then select Create New Application in the top right corner of the page.
   • Select the + icon next to the Supply Chain Inspection tile and select your facility to begin the application.
   • If you are unable to proceed due to facility ineligibility, more information can be found in the Help section.
7. Proceed through the application and submit when complete.
   • Read the Application Basics document for instructions on submitting your application.

Supply Chain Inspections typically occur within 8 weeks after we receive a complete application. An application is considered complete once payment is received and all outstanding requirements related to the application are resolved; however, the amount of time it takes to complete the supply chain inspection process varies and may be impacted by a facility’s preparedness and whether there is pending discipline.
