**The Government’s intent is to solicit this requirement on a sole source basis to Wolters Kluwer N.V. (Pharmacy SoleSource) in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B), “Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized.” However, if your company can provide the required services identified in the DRAFT Performance Work Statement please provide a response in accordance with this Request for Information.**

Introduction: This is a Request for Information (RFI) only issued for the purpose of conducting market research. Accordingly, this RFI constitutes neither a Request for Proposal (RFP) nor a guarantee that one will be issued by the Government in the future; furthermore, it does not commit the Government to contract for any services described herein. Do not submit a Proposal. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is not, at this time, seeking proposals or quotes, and therefore, will not accept, review, or evaluate unsolicited proposals or quotes received in response hereto. This notice is not to be construed as a commitment on the part of the Government to award a contract, nor does the Government intend to pay for any information submitted as a result of this request. The Government does not reimburse respondents for any costs associated with submission of the information being requested or reimburse expenses incurred for responses to this RFI. The information provided may be used by VA in developing its acquisition strategy and Performance Work Statement (PWS). Any information submitted by respondents to this RFI is strictly voluntary; however, any information received shall become the property of the Government and will not be returned to the respondent. Interested parties are responsible for adequately marking proprietary, restricted or competition sensitive information contained in their response. This is a request for information and does not obligate the Government in any way, nor does it commit the Government to any specific course of action.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 2, strives to provide high quality, effective, and efficient Information Technology (IT) services to those responsible for providing care to the Veterans at the point-of-care as well as throughout all the points of the Veterans’ health care in an effective, timely and compassionate manner. VA depends on Information Management/Information Technology (IM/IT) systems to meet mission goals.

VISN 2 Medical Centers Pharmacies have a requirement for Compliance Software for their Compounded Sterile Products (CSP) area. This system shall replace the current burdensome paperwork system.

This PWS will specifically detail Pharmacies that will be purchasing a Brand Name or equivalent CSP Compliance Software system.
