Can the receipt of in-kind contributions through section 317 or 318 of the Public Health Service Act (PHSA) qualify an entity for participation in the 340B Drug Pricing Program? What are in-kind contributions for purposes of 340B Program eligibility?

An entity receiving in-kind contributions through section 317 or 318 may qualify for the 340B Drug Pricing Program provided all the remaining 340B requirements are met. Qualifying in-kind contributions must be paid for by section 317 or 318 grant funds to qualify a site as 340B eligible. In-kind contributions may be in the form of real property, equipment, supplies, and other expendable property, and goods and services directly benefiting and specifically identifiable to the project or program. A grantee should contact the granting agency project officer to determine if the in-kind service meets the agency's definition of in-kind.
