5. Rationale/explanation to support cited authority: ScriptPro WMS Remote Access Servers will allow VA Personnel to access the Pharacy system on any VA Computer System. If we do not have this system, the VA Pharmcy personnel would need to log into the ScriptPro system to access the information. This will simply the log in process and allow VA Pharmacy personnel to access it on any VA computer system including laptops, tablets and smartphones.

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

• A search of the SBA Dynamic Small Business Search Database Search for Certified SDVOSB &

VOSB using a search criterion of NAISC Code: 339112 Keyword: “scriptpro” found zero Certified SDVOSB or VOSB capable of providing the required products.

• Medical Pneumatic Tubing Commodities for the VA Health Care System are not on the AbilityOne Procurement List.

• A search of the GSA eLibrary found Scriptpro US has a VA National Contract 36F79719D0135 which covers the procurement of the Remote Access Servers and Licensing. However the WMS Remote Access Server is not on this contract.

• A search on SBA’s DSBS using NAICS code 339112 Keyword: “scriptpro” yielded zero small business capable of providing these required products.

• A sole source notice 36C26324Q0752 was posted to the Contract Opportunities on www.SAM.gov on 05/08/2024. At the closing of the sole source on 05/14/2024, zero responses from any vendor.

7. Note that this determination satisfies the requirements of FAR 8.405-6. The requirement to prepare a written justification IAW FAR 6.303 does not apply to Federal Supply Schedules.
