Insight
Over the last 10 years, EXPRESS SCRIPTS, INC. received 5.54 billion across 465 awards, with obligations highly concentrated in NAICS 524114, DIRECT HEALTH AND MEDICAL INSURANCE CARRIERS. That code accounts for 5.52 billion and 315 awards, or the vast majority of total obligations and award activity. All other NAICS categories are comparatively minor, each contributing less than 8 million, indicating a narrow and highly concentrated procurement profile. The presence of small negative obligations in NAICS 446110 and a zero-obligation award in NAICS 423450 suggests limited adjustment or non-obligating activity outside the dominant category.
