Purchase Order 36C25526P0062

Veterans Healthcare Supply Solutions, Inc., a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, was awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $55,411.00 by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 on December 29, 2025. The contract covers the procurement and delivery of Pyxis ES Refrigerators—specifically one 13 cubic foot unit and three 5 cubic foot units—for medication storage in the intensive care, emergency room, and behavioral health units at the Robert J. Dole VA Medical Center in Wichita, Kansas. The equipment must be delivered within 120 days of order receipt, with an ultimate completion date of April 29, 2026.

The solicitation was designated as a 100 percent SDVOSB set-aside and issued with a brand-specific justification based on the unique integration requirements with the facility's existing Pyxis automated dispensing system. Market research confirmed that alternative refrigerator brands cannot integrate with the current system without voiding the manufacturer's warranty, necessitating procurement from an authorized distributor of Pyxis equipment. This represents a one-time buy falling under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold and aligns with the VA's commitment to supporting veteran-owned businesses while ensuring seamless integration of critical medication storage systems within its healthcare infrastructure.
