re <<I thought they were buying Pfizer's?>>

Merck announced its successful covid antiviral pill trial in early October, so Pfizer is about 30 days behind in the race. Apparently the US government has placed initial and followup orders Merck, and just an initial order with Pfizer.

Each company needs an emergency use authorization (EUA) before its drug can be prescribed. Merck has already submitted its EUA application, and the FDA has scheduled a November 30th meeting to discuss it. Pfizer has announced it will submit its EUA application before Thanksgiving.

In the meantime, we can expect frequent news flow as the companies work through the EUA process, book orders, ramp up pill production, and complete their other ongoing trials. In addition there are other companies working on this, so another competitor could stir things up.

Pfizer had much better results than Merck in the recent round of trials, so I'm betting that Pfizer will eventually dominate this market.
