Alliant Purchasing v. OMNIA Partners & Alliant Purchasing v. Premier, Inc.
Filed August 17: Premier, OMNIA, and Alliant told a federal judge that settlement negotiations are continuing — and jointly asked to extend the stay by fourteen days. One report covering two lawsuits and an arbitration. (00006 R.72; 00719 R.62.)
Docket status
The joint status reports were filed August 17: negotiations continuing, and a fourteen-day extension of the stay requested. The court has since ruled on both, ordering the next joint status report by no later than Monday, August 31, 2026, or within five days of the completion of any settlement negotiations, whichever occurs first. Neither order adopts the unilateral off-ramp the parties asked for. (00006 R.73, entered August 19; 00719 R.63, entered August 20.)

Litigation Watch
The open questions we're tracking across both dockets and the arbitration.
Can the Recruitment & Retention Policy be unilaterally replaced?
Both OMNIA and Premier issued replacement policies in 2025 — whether they could is at the heart of the second lawsuit. Unresolved.
Does suing in court expose a sponsor to termination for cause?
NHH and OMNIA's Answer asserts that by filing in court rather than arbitrating, Alliant materially breached its agreement. Unresolved.
Will the arbitration resolve before the lawsuits?
The same settlement discussions cover both cases and the AAA arbitration among Alliant, NHH, and Premier LP. The August 17 joint status reports covered all three fronts: negotiations continuing, a fourteen-day extension requested, no agreement and no breakdown announced. (00006 R.72; 00719 R.62.)

Frequently asked
Plain-English answers, each grounded in the filings above.
- What is Alliant Purchasing v. Premier?
- Alliant Purchasing, LLC v. Premier, Inc. et al., No. 3:25-cv-00719, is a contract case filed November 6, 2025 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky, Louisville Division. It names four defendants: Premier, Inc., Premier Healthcare Alliance, L.P., Non-Healthcare Holdings, LLC, and OMNIA Partners, LLC. Alliant Purchasing is a Sponsor in the Premier Program, and the suit centers on the replacement Recruitment & Retention Policies issued in 2025 and whether that policy could be changed unilaterally. Every public filing in the docket is in this library. The allegations are unproven and the defendants have denied wrongdoing.
- What is Alliant Purchasing v. OMNIA Partners?
- Alliant Purchasing, LLC v. OMNIA Partners, LLC et al., No. 3:25-cv-00006, is the earlier of the two cases, filed January 3, 2025 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky, Louisville Division, with Premier, Inc. as a co-defendant. It arises from a blocked transfer of non-healthcare member facilities to Alliant following a change of control, and turns on the change-of-control provision of Premier's Recruitment & Retention Policy. A related arbitration between Alliant, Non-Healthcare Holdings, LLC, and Premier Healthcare Alliance, L.P. is pending before the American Arbitration Association. The allegations are unproven and the defendants have denied wrongdoing.
- What is Non-Healthcare Holdings, LLC / OMNIA B&I?
- Non-Healthcare Holdings, LLC ("NHH") is the entity Premier created in approximately May 2023 to hold its non-healthcare Member and Sponsor contracts. In July 2023, OMNIA Partners acquired NHH from Premier — a transaction Premier announced at approximately $800 million (Premier 8-K/10-K), pled in Alliant's complaint at approximately $680 million (complaint ¶39), an amount the defendants deny (Answer ¶22) — together with a ten-year Channel Partnership Agreement under which those accounts continue purchasing through the Premier Program. That book of business is what the market now calls OMNIA B&I (Business & Industry). NHH is a named defendant in 3:25-cv-00719 and a party to the related AAA arbitration. These facts are drawn from the public filings in this library.
- What does the Recruitment & Retention Policy have to do with the cases?
- Premier's Recruitment & Retention (R&R) Policy governs whether a member facility can move between Sponsors in the Premier Program. It generally bars transfers, with a carve-out permitting a member to select a new Sponsor for a limited window after its Sponsor undergoes a change of control. Both cases turn on that carve-out — the first on whether it reached non-healthcare accounts, the second on whether the policy could be replaced unilaterally. The R&R Policy, its 2025 replacements, and the three governing agreements are all in this library.
- What happened on August 17, 2026?
- Orders in both cases required the parties to advise the court on the status of settlement discussions by August 17, 2026 — one report covering the two lawsuits and the related arbitration. (00006 R.70; 00719 R.60.) The joint status reports were filed August 17: the parties told the court that settlement negotiations are continuing and jointly asked to extend the stay by an additional fourteen days. Both were requests. The court has since ruled on both, ordering the parties in each case to file their next joint status report by no later than Monday, August 31, 2026, or within five days of the completion of any settlement negotiations, whichever occurs first; in the second case it also ordered that the Agreed Status Quo Orders remain in effect while the parties are in settlement negotiations. Neither order adopts the unilateral off-ramp the parties asked for. (00006 R.72; 00719 R.62; orders at 00006 R.73, entered August 19, and 00719 R.63, entered August 20.)
