DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS

Justification for Single Source Awards IAW FAR 13.106-1 For

Over Micro-Purchase Threshold but Not Exceeding the SAT ($250K)

Acquisition Plan Action ID: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 6, Durham VA Medical Center.

ReqID# 558-18-3-122-0150.

1. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount:

This is a Brand Name only requirement for ScriptPro's Pharmacy Services Portal (PSP). ScriptPro's PSC tracks patient’s intake from inception through the completion of their prescription services. In the pharmacy, the system calls patients to the pickup windows and displays patient service level statistics to pharmacy staff. PSP is integrated with SP Central Workflow and utilizes notice boards, kiosks, and ticket window displays. Further, a variety of reports provide the pharmacy insight into patient wait times, prescription filling, and more. The estimated value of the proposed action is $ 189,829.09.

2. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:

Script-Pro Patient Services Portal (PSP) is a proprietary system that will integrate with the existing Script- Pro Central Workflow System currently utilized by Pharmacy Service. The material/service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing brand of equipment for compatibility and is available from ScriptPro USA Inc., and their authorized resellers. If required, the integral repair part or accessory must also be compatible with existing system. PSP integrates with SP Central Workflow and utilizes notice boards, kiosks, and ticket window displays. Proprietary software, precludes alternate systems integration with the Script-Pro system. Moreover, it is not in the best interest of the Government to procure a new system as the Script-Pro Central Workflow Systems are used throughout VISN 6, and are standardized. IAW FAR 6.302-1 (a)(2)(ii)(A) this would cause substantial duplication of cost not expected to be recovered through competition, resulting in undue delays.

3. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:

Contracting Officer (CO) conducted Market Research employing the use of World Wide Web, SAM, VIP and FPDSNG. Further, A VIP search using NAICS code 339112 and key word “Pharmacy Service Portal” returned one hundred and thirty-six (136) SDVOSB/ twenty-eight (28) VOSB registered for this product. A secondary search using NAICS 339112 as a standalone returned 290 capable vendors (234-

SDVOSB/56-VOSB).

Further, telephonic communication with the manufacturer pointed to two authorized resellers. The manufacturers of requested supplies is ScriptPro USA Inc., and orders are conducted only through them or their authorized re-distributors ( Four-points and Veteran Healthcare Supply Solution). Equipment is available on GSA with the manufacturer under V797P-4237B or above mentioned commercially available SDVOSB re-sellers sources.
