Here is just one example from last year. In the midst of a national shortage of IV pain meds in hospitals, it took the DEA 6 weeks and 10 weeks, respectively, to grant additional quota to alternate manufacturers. And that was during a crisis situaton that was affecting patient care and causing surgeries to be cancelled. The shortage was caused in the first place because DEA drastically cut national quotas in 2017 and 2018 without any change in demand or prescriptions. I doubt there was any oxycodone or hydrocodone quota remaining for 2018 by the time we got ANDA approvals. It seems to me the quota is the important part. Launch date is irrelevant compared with the quota amount. A company will most likely manufacture and sell 100% of their quota. Drugdoctor hinted at this the other day. He frequently has supply problems with CII drugs and has to use alternate suppliers. This is the quota system at work. Maybe it's not who you know at the FDA but rather who you know at DEA.
