About this file
This is a Justification for Single Source Awards document from the Department of Veterans Affairs for a simplified acquisition procedure under FAR 13.106-1(b).
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 17 in San Antonio, Texas, is seeking continued maintenance services for the XR2 automated medication dispensing system at the VA Healthcare System facility in Temple, Texas. The contract requirement is for a one-year period of performance from December 1, 2026, to November 30, 2027, with an estimated contract value that has been redacted. The required services include support and maintenance for five pieces of XR2-related equipment: the Service Cart Module (XR2-CTM-002-SV), XR2 4-Bay System (XR2-RBT-004-SV), Restock Cart (XR2-OPT-003-SV), Storage Module (XR2-STM-002-SV), and Auto Packager Tote Based system (XR2-BDS-001-SV). The current contract is held by Omnicell Inc. under contract number 36C25722P0005.
The justification establishes that Omnicell Inc. is the sole source provider because the company is the exclusive developer, manufacturer, and provider of the XR2 medication robot utilizing proprietary and patented technology. Only Omnicell-certified service technicians are authorized to perform maintenance, repairs, software upgrades, firmware updates, remote diagnostics, parts replacement, and consumable supply services. The acquisition ID is 36C257-27-AP-0233, and an intent to sole source was posted from September 1, 2026, to September 10, 2026, under solicitation number 36C25726Q0882 with no competing responses received. Market research of VA NAC, SAM, and ADDS UP confirmed Omnicell Inc. as the exclusive provider. The Contracting Officer has certified approval in accordance with applicable Federal Acquisition Regulation requirements.

VHAPG Part 813.106 Simplified Acquisition Procedures: Soliciting from a Single Source Attachment 1: Single Source Justification for MPT up to SAT
Revision: 02 Effective Date: 12/30/2025 Page 2 of 2 Acquisition ID #: 36C257-27-AP-0233
The necessity of continual remote monitoring, access to software and firmware updates, and utilization of authorized replacement components requires the use of an Omnicell Inc.
certified service technician. No other entity is authorized or technically capable of fulfilling these requirements. Attempting to obtain maintenance or repair services from a third-party vendor would void all manufacturer warranties, jeopardize system integrity, risk unacceptable delays or system downtime, and lead to substantial duplicative costs associated with potential system failures or lack of authorized parts.
Accordingly, Omnicell Inc. is the only firm capable of providing the supplies and services stated above.
4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: A search of VA NAC, SAM and ADDS UP resulted in positive results. All results listed Omnicell Inc. as the service provider.
An intent to sole source was posted on Contract Opportunities under solicitation number 36C25726Q0882 from September 1, 2026, to September 10, 2026; however, no responses were received from any other source.
Additionally, Omnicell, Inc. provided a proprietary letter affirming that they are the exclusive provider of support and maintenance services for the equipment, and that subcontractors are only authorized to provide services under their direction. This exclusivity arrangement further restricts competition and supports the need to proceed with a sole source action to Omnicell, Inc.
5. Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with FAR 13.106- 1(b). I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
