PHARMACY AUTOMATION SYSTEM

The US Naval Hospital in Guam plans to award a sole source, brand-name only purchase order to Parata Systems, LLC for additional equipment and supplies to support the Automatic Pill Dispensing Machine currently in use at the pharmacy department. This action, conducted under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 and simplified acquisition procedures (FAR 13.5), is based on the need for compatibility with existing Parata system software and hardware that has been operational for approximately three years. The contract references RFQ number N68096-10-T-0018 and is set aside as a Total Small Business procurement under NAICS code 423450. The place of performance is Agana Heights, Guam. While Parata Systems is identified as the only acceptable manufacturer due to proprietary compatibility requirements, the notice offers an opportunity for other contractors capable of providing an equivalent product with matching features and functionality to submit proposals for government consideration. The final decision not to compete remains at the sole discretion of the government. Points of contact for this procurement include Purchasing Agent Jocelyn T Layson-Castillo, who can be reached via listed email and phone number for further inquiries.
