65--Pharmacy Equipment

The Department of the Army, Healthcare Acquisition Activity-North is planning to negotiate a sole source procurement with Innovation Associates for the PharmAssist ROBOTx equipment, intended to supply the Satellite pharmacy at Luke Air Force Base. This purchase will be made under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, allowing the government to solicit and negotiate with only one source without competition.

The contract is identified by solicitation number W91YTZ12R201 and pertains to pharmacy equipment classified under NAICS code 333298. The procurement aligns with the government’s intent to ensure operational consistency and reliability in pharmacy medication dispensing at the specified military installation.
