NOTICE OF AWARD

The contract is a sole-source, fixed-price award issued under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, valued at no more than $350,000, for annual continuation of AutoNotify text and voice messaging services for government-owned IntelliCab systems deployed at three CRDAMC pharmacies in Fort Hood, Texas. The award is exclusively to Parata Systems LLC, the original equipment manufacturer, due to its proprietary control over the system’s software and hardware integration, including components such as the AccuCount Scale II, Parata MAX®, SynMed XF, and IntelliCab system, which unauthorized vendors cannot service without voiding warranties and jeopardizing operational integrity. The procurement is justified under FAR 12.102(a) as a commercial item acquisition, with no competition required due to the OEM’s exclusive capability, and no small business set-aside was used. The period of performance is tied to FY 2027 funding with no option periods permitted per the vendor’s corporate policy. Contract administration is managed by the Medical Readiness Contracting Office – West at JBSA Fort Sam Houston, Texas, with point of contact information provided for Sheryl Egans and Fredicinda D. Jones. Performance occurs at the designated pharmacy locations in Fort Hood, and while no detailed pricing structure, CLINs, or invoicing instructions are provided, the nature of the deliverable is a service subscription with no physical delivery, eliminating the need for FOB terms, packaging, marking, or bar-coding specifications. The contract includes no security clearance requirements, key personnel clauses, or organizational conflict of interest provisions. Representations confirm that Parata Systems LLC is other than a small business, with a CAGE code of 31EA6, and that no socioeconomic certifications apply. The award relies on a redacted Justification and Approval document that substantiates the sole-source selection under FAR 6.302-1, citing brand-name necessity and the absence of feasible alternatives. No formal evaluation factors, inspection criteria, or performance metrics are detailed, as the award was not competed and acceptance is inferred from OEM-specific compliance and warranty maintenance requirements.
