Today Is the Day: The DSCSA Manufacturer Deadline Has Arrived

May 27, 2025, is more than just a date on the calendar—it marks the official enforcement of the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) for pharmaceutical manufacturers. After years of preparation, guidance, and shifting timelines, the FDA’s requirement for serialized data exchange and end-to-end traceability is now fully in effect.

What This Means for Manufacturers

If you're a pharmaceutical manufacturer, you are now legally required to send serialized product data to your trading partners using EPCIS (Electronic Product Code Information Services). You must also be equipped to handle:

• Verification requests from downstream partners within 24 hours
• Exception handling for errors in EPCIS data or master data mismatches
• Audit-ready records for federal regulators and trading partners
• Live connections to each downstream recipient—errors, gaps, or broken connections are no longer tolerable

Compliance is not a one-time checkbox. It’s an ongoing operational requirement. And today, the countdown is over.

The Cost of Falling Behind

Failure to comply could lead to:

• Rejected or returned shipments
• Product quarantines and distribution delays
• Financial losses and disrupted cash flow
• Audits, regulatory penalties, or even loss of business from key trading partners

In short: noncompliance can derail your supply chain and your reputation.
