About this file
This is a Justification for Single Source Award document from the Department of Veterans Affairs for a simplified acquisition below the simplified acquisition threshold. The Network Contracting Office (NCO) 15 in Leavenworth, Kansas is procuring three BD Pyxis Anesthesia ES Systems and three Codonic printers for the Cape Girardeau Health Care Center in Cape Girardeau, Missouri (Purchase Request Number 657-26-3-3750-0087, Acquisition ID# 36C255-26-AP-0893). The procurement includes installation and removal of existing outdated equipment to replace three Main Pyxis systems that have reached end-of-life status.
The single source justification is based on brand name exclusivity and technical compatibility constraints. According to the document, the BD Pyxis Anesthesia ES System is the only authorized anesthesia cabinet capable of integrating with the currently installed Pyxis automated dispensing system. Becton Dickinson CareFusion Solutions, LLC (BD) has provided a letter confirming that only BD products are authorized for use with their system, and use of unauthorized products would void the warranty and result in BD refusing to cover parts damaged by unauthorized equipment. The document indicates extensive market research was conducted, though the specific findings and details are redacted on page 2. The Contracting Officer, Betty Flores, signed the certification on March 4, 2026, affirming the accuracy and completeness of the justification in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b).
