AI Contract Overview

The Department of Veterans' Affairs VISN 9 Network Contracting Activity awarded a sole source contract to Carefusion Solutions, LLC to provide Pyxis® Medical Stations at the Alvin C. York VA Medical Center in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. This contract, effective from April 1, 2011, to September 30, 2011, was issued under FAR Part 6.302-2 due to unusual and compelling urgency, allowing sole source procurement without competition. The Pyxis® system is critical for medication distribution at the Nashville and Murfreesboro VA Medical Centers and related outpatient clinics, and its proprietary compatibility with the existing Pandora® system makes it uniquely suitable. This six-month lease serves as a temporary measure to prevent disruption of patient care while the agency prepares for a competitive procurement process set to begin in fiscal year 2012, which will cover one base year plus four option years. The contract serves a pressing need to maintain uninterrupted medication distribution, vital to veteran patient care. Carefusion’s Pyxis® stations are the only known technology compatible with current hospital systems, justifying the non-competitive award. The competitive solicitation will be conducted via GSA/FAA starting October 1, 2011. The NAICS code for the procurement is 423450, corresponding to medical, dental, hospital equipment, and supplies, with a size standard of 100 employees. The point of contact for information is Christina B. Jackson, Contract Specialist, at the VISN 9 Network Contracting Activity in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. This notice does not constitute a request for proposal and emphasizes the urgency and limited duration of the current contract.
