Broad incumbents

• McKesson: The largest U.S. pharmaceutical distributor and a direct competitor in the same retail pharmacy supply channel. McKesson operates at massive scale across brand, generic, and specialty distribution, defining the competitive ceiling Prescription Supply must operate beneath.
• Cencora (formerly AmerisourceBergen): One of the Big 3 U.S. pharmaceutical wholesalers serving chain, independent, hospital, and specialty pharmacies. Cencora's scale and manufacturer relationships set the procurement and pricing benchmark against which Prescription Supply's OptiSource cooperative buying must compete.
• Cardinal Health: The third of the Big 3 U.S. pharmaceutical distributors, with overlapping retail pharmacy supply capabilities. Cardinal Health's at-scale logistics and digital procurement tooling represent the primary competitive alternative for Prescription Supply's independent pharmacy customers.

• Rochester Drug Cooperative: An independent, member-owned pharmaceutical wholesaler cooperative serving independent pharmacies, similar in cooperative-style procurement approach and independent-pharmacy focus. Comparable full-line distribution with member/owner-driven economics paralleling OptiSource.
• Anda, Inc. A specialty and generics-focused pharmaceutical distributor (Teva subsidiary) supplying retail pharmacies, chains, and hospitals. Overlaps with Prescription Supply on generic and brand distribution to pharmacies, particularly through specialty sourcing programs.
• H.D. Smith: Historically an independent pharmaceutical wholesaler serving independent pharmacies, retail chains, and hospitals with full-line distribution. Closely analogous historical peer for the independent wholesale model Prescription Supply operates.
