JOFOC XR2 ROBOT

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through the 257-NETWORK Contract Office 17, has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source procurement for the Omnicell XR2 Inpatient Medication Dispensing Robot and associated equipment under the 8(a) Sole Source set-aside authority, utilizing FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(ii) for soliciting from a single source. The requirement includes one Omnicell XR2 robot, three Omnicell carousels, a blister packager, Central Pharmacy Management (CPM) software, and one year of service, all to be provided as brand-name only items with no substitutions permitted. To be eligible, any prospective contractor must be a registered participant in the System for Award Management (SAM) and hold authorized dealer, distributor, or reseller status directly from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) to ensure full OEM warranty and service obligations are maintained. All software licensing, warranty, and service terms must conform strictly to the OEM’s standard terms and conditions. The place of performance is Temple, Texas, and all responses must be submitted via email to Ivan T. Torres at ivan.torres1@va.gov by 3:00 PM Central Time on June 8, 2026, with the exact subject line specified. Submissions must include clear and convincing documentation outlining the offeror’s technical background, capabilities, and experience in supporting this specific equipment system. The notice explicitly states it is not a solicitation and does not request competitive quotes, but rather invites industry feedback to justify the sole source determination, and no pricing, CLIN structure, or contract value is disclosed at this stage. The acquisition is managed from the VHA Regional Procurement Office-West in Duncanville, Texas, and while no formal evaluation factors, inspection criteria, or contract administration details have been published, the outcome of this notice will determine whether the procurement proceeds as a sole source award or transitions to a competitive process.
