CMOP Automation Engineer Support

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 established a Master IDIQ for Consolidated Mail Outpatient Pharmacy (CMOP) Automation Engineer Support Services on August 30, 2019, with a shared ceiling of $2.66 million. Ordering closed May 31, 2020, and the vehicle is no longer active.

The vehicle contracted concurrent engineering and subject matter expertise for automated and semi-automated pharmacy production systems, including technical planning, system maturity assessment, and risk mitigation across the acquisition lifecycle. Work performed at multiple CMOP locations including Tucson and Murfreesboro.

ST Onge Co. dominates the vehicle, holding four of five awarded task orders valued at $2.2 million combined. Innovation Associates, Inc. received one order valued at $1 thousand. All five task orders were awarded under unrestricted competition with firm fixed-price pricing.

Orders concentrated heavily within VA's Veterans Integrated Service Network 15, which placed three orders worth $1.2 million combined. Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 and Veterans Integrated Service Network 9 placed one order each, valued at $299 thousand and $739 thousand respectively.

Ordering activity peaked in 2020, when three of five awards were issued. The most recent task order was placed May 27, 2021. Combined obligated value totaled $2.3 million, representing 100% of the vehicle's combined potential value. All task orders employed firm fixed-price contracts with typical durations through 2021 or 2024, reflecting the maturity profile of a five-year-old master IDIQ with a closed ordering period. No further business development activity should be expected under this vehicle.
