The Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically the VA Northern California Health Care System, has issued a single source justification for contract 36A77620P0167 to Document Storage Systems for a total value of 43,158.34 dollars. This procurement is for a perpetual license, twelve months of software subscription maintenance and support, and remote installation services for a software interface that enables a SynMed blister package dispensing device to communicate with the VistA infrastructure. The implementation of this technology is intended to improve medication safety and effectiveness for veterans, particularly aging patients with cognitive or vision impairments, by organizing medications into scheduled blister packages. The award was made as a sole source under FAR 13.106-1 because Document Storage Systems is the only provider capable of producing software that allows the SynMed machine to operate on the unique VistA infrastructure. Market research conducted in September 2020, which included a Notice of Intent to Sole Source posted on beta.sam.gov and direct outreach to verified SDVOSB and VOSB vendors under NAICS 541511, resulted in no other vendors requesting consideration. The acquisition was managed by the Program Contracting Activity Central and certified by Contracting Officer Grace Kelly.

Page 1 of 1 DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS Justification for Single Source Awards IAW FAR 13.106-1 For Over Micro-Purchase Threshold but Not Exceeding the SAT ($250K) Acquisition Plan Action ID: 36A77-20-AP-6202 Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 21, VA Northern California Health Care System; Program Contracting Activity Central (PCAC); 612-20-4-775-0232. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: This request is to purchase the software program which allows the SynMed blister package dispensing device to communicate with VistA. ITEM NUMBER ITEM DESCRIPTION QUANTITY DSSRX-SynMed OutPt- PL DSS SynMed Outpatient VistA Interface Perpetual License. Includes Outpatient pharmacy orders. 1 each DSSRX-SynMed OutPt- PL-AM DSS Synmed Outpatient Interface software subscription maintenance and support M-F 8-8 EST, includes bug fixes, minor release upgrades, telephone support 12 months DSS-INST-R DSS Remote Installation Services Per Day 1 job Total Estimated Value: $ Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: The activation of the SynMed Blister Packaging Device is an effort to simplify and improve safety and effectiveness of treatment of veterans who take several medications. The organization of these drugs into blister packages will facilitate administration of these medications according to proscribed schedules. This will be particularly useful for the aging patient population, for whom vision and cognitive issues, or those of their caregivers, makes administration of tablets from bottles more difficult. The VistA infrastructure was created in 1983 and is unique to the US Department of Veterans Affairs. The SynMed blister packaging machine is a somewhat uncommon device. Market Research has revealed that only DSS is a producer of software which allows the SynMed machine to communicate with VistA. No other companies create a software system that allows the SynMed machine to operate on the VistA infrastructure. Document Storage Systems is a large business according to their Reps and Certs on sam.gov. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: A Notice of Intent to Sole Source to Document Storage Systems was posted on beta.sam.gov on September 4th, 2020. In addition, all verified SDVOSB and VOSB vendors registered under the NAICS 541511, Custom Computer Programming Services, on VetBiz were emailed the Notice of Intent to Sole Source to Document Storage Systems. A response deadline of September 11th 2020 was included in the requests to ensure adequate time for award in Fiscal Year 2020. As a result of this market research no vendors responded requesting to be considered. Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with FAR13.106-1(b). I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. ____________________________ ________________________ Grace Kelly Date Contracting Officer
