About this file
This is a Special Notice/Sole-Source Justification for a firm-fixed-price order for robotic pharmacy dispensing equipment and OEM-exclusive upgrades. The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration (VHA), Network Contracting Office 1 New England intends to award a sole-source order to ScriptPro USA, Inc. for replacement and upgrade of end-of-life robotic dispensing systems at VA Connecticut Healthcare System campuses in West Haven and Newington. The procurement covers pharmacy automation equipment, proprietary Datapoint components, firmware, configuration services, and OEM-exclusive installation/upgrade pathways necessary for VISTA-integrated pharmacy operations and patient safety. The vendor is located at 5828 Reeds Road, Shawnee Mission, Kansas 66202, and can be contacted at (800) 606-7628. Pricing will be based on ScriptPro's Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) Contract 36F79719D0135 price list.
The justification for sole-source award rests on market research confirming that ScriptPro retains exclusive proprietary rights to its system architecture, robotic mechanisms, software/firmware, and OEM-only installation/upgrade pathways required for warranty and functionality maintenance. No other Small Disadvantaged Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB), or alternative manufacturer is authorized or capable of performing OEM upgrades or providing compatible equipment. The procurement is authorized under FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i) for items peculiar to one manufacturer. The notice solicits capability statements from parties believing they can meet requirements, specifically demonstrating OEM authorization from ScriptPro for hardware, software, and service capabilities, though this is not a formal request for quotations. The NAICS code is 339112 and PSC code is 6515.

DESCRIPTION
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 Connecticut Healthcare System (VACTHS) campuses: West Haven and Newington. The action replaces end-of-life robotic dispensing equipment and implements proprietary upgrades, 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.
Intended Source: ScriptPro USA, Inc., 5828 Reeds Road, Shawnee Mission, KS 66202; Phone (800) 606-7628; Contract FSS 36F79719D0135.
NAICS/PSC: NAICS 339112; PSC 6515.
Place of Performance: VA Connecticut Healthcare System – West Haven and Newington campuses.

Capability statements must be received by the response due date identified on this posting.
Point of Contact: Jerry Choinski, Contract Specialist, NCO 1; Email: Jerry.Choinski@va.gov ; Phone: (860) 666-6951.
