About this file
This is a Special Notice of Intent to Sole Source a federal contract award. The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration (VHA), Network Contracting Office 1 – New England intends to award a firm-fixed-price sole-source order to ScriptPro USA, Inc. for pharmacy automation equipment and OEM-exclusive upgrades at three VA Boston Healthcare System campuses: West Roxbury, Jamaica Plain, and Brockton. The procurement replaces end-of-life ScriptPro robotic dispensing equipment and implements proprietary upgrades including GEN9, Workflow Management System WMS 1.0 2.0, Datapoint components, firmware, and configuration services required for safe and efficient VistA-integrated pharmacy operations. Pricing will align to ScriptPro's existing VA Federal Supply Schedule price list under FSS Contract 36F79719D0135.
The sole-source justification is based on ScriptPro's exclusive proprietary rights to its system architecture, robotic mechanisms, software/firmware, configuration utilities, and OEM-only installation and upgrade pathways necessary to maintain warranty and functionality. Market research confirms no other manufacturer, SDVOSB/VOSB, or authorized distributor can perform equivalent OEM upgrades or provide compatible equipment. Replacement with ScriptPro is deemed necessary to mitigate patient-safety risks and operational disruption. Although this is not a request for quotations, interested parties may submit capability statements by the response date of July 20, 2026 at 12:00 PM Eastern Time, demonstrating OEM authorization from ScriptPro and technical compatibility with VistA-integrated pharmacy workflows. The contracting office is located at the Newington VAMC in Connecticut, and the point of contact is Contract Specialist Janice L. Jones.

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration (VHA), Network Contracting Office (NCO) 1 – New England, intends to award a firm-fixed-price sole-source order to ScriptPro USA, Inc. for pharmacy automation equipment and OEM-exclusive upgrades at the VA Boston Healthcare System (VABHS) campuses: West Roxbury, Jamaica Plain, and Brockton. The action replaces end-of-life ScriptPro robotic dispensing equipment and implements proprietary upgrades (including GEN9 and Workflow Management System WMS 1.0→2.0), Datapoint components, firmware, and configuration services required for safe, accurate, and efficient VistA-integrated pharmacy operations.
Authority: FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i) (items peculiar to one manufacturer), FAR 8.405-6(b) (limited-sources justification), MAS ordering authorities at 41 U.S.C. 152(3) and 40 U.S.C. 501, and GSAM/R 538.7104-3(b) as implemented for MAS sole-source justifications (RFO 8.4).
Rationale: Market research confirms ScriptPro retains exclusive proprietary rights to its system architecture, robotic mechanisms, software/firmware, configuration utilities, and the OEM-only installation/upgrade pathways required to maintain warranty and functionality. No SDVOSB/VOSB or other manufacturer is authorized or capable of performing OEM upgrades or providing compatible equipment; authorized distributors cannot conduct OEM-exclusive services. Replacement with ScriptPro is necessary to mitigate patient-safety risks and operational disruption. Pricing aligns to ScriptPro’s VA Federal Supply Schedule price list under FSS Contract 36F79719D0135.
