DB01--VISN | PYXIS HOST CONVERSION SERVICE

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through Network Contracting Office 15, intends to award a sole source contract to Carefusion Solutions, LLC for Pyxis Host Conversion services across all VISN 15 facilities. This action is justified under FAR 6.302-1 and 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) due to the proprietary nature of the Pyxis medication dispensing system, which can only be upgraded by the original equipment manufacturer. The scope of work includes remote software support, server configuration, interface integration, and go-live assistance for existing Pyxis IV Prep, MedStations, supply systems, Pyxis Logistic, and BD Pill Packaging Units, with all services restricted to Carefusion Solutions, LLC to maintain system integrity and warranty compliance. The contract is classified under NAICS code 541511, Custom Computer Programming Services, with a small business size standard of $34 million in annual receipts, and uses PSC DB10. No competitive solicitation will be issued; instead, interested parties may submit a capabilities statement and an authorized distributor letter from Carefusion Solutions, LLC by May 6, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. Central Time, via email to veronica.flores@va.gov with the specific subject line referenced. If no viable alternative responses are received, the government will proceed with direct negotiation solely with Carefusion Solutions, LLC. The place of performance is limited to VA facilities within VISN 15, and all work must be performed by OEM-certified personnel to avoid warranty voidance and assume full liability for system damage. Payment, contract type, pricing details, and specific delivery schedules are not disclosed in the available documentation, and no inspection criteria beyond OEM specifications or warranty requirements are stated. The contracting officer, Betty Flores, serves as the sole point of contact, with no designated COR or COTR identified. No packaging, preservation, or labeling standards are required as the deliverables are software-based services rather than physical goods. All submissions must be in written form; verbal responses are not accepted or considered.
