This is a Sole Source Justification document for the Eddy County Detention Center in New Mexico, prepared by the Corrections Department to support a single-source procurement for Advanced Pharmacy Solutions. The document outlines the detention center's requirement for a fully autonomous, pharmacist-controlled, on-site pharmacy solution operating 24/7 that supports automated packaging, patient-specific labeling, and medication sorting. The system must be capable of managing the facility's pharmaceutical operations independently and meet strict regulatory and operational standards specific to correctional healthcare environments. The procurement seeks to establish a contract for this specialized pharmacy system, with the justification emphasizing the unique nature of the requirement and the limited availability of vendors capable of providing a solution meeting the detention center's specific operational and compliance needs.

The sole source justification indicates that Advanced Pharmacy Solutions has been identified as the only qualified vendor capable of providing a system that meets the detention center's comprehensive requirements for automated pharmacy management within a correctional setting. The document supports the use of sole source procurement procedures rather than competitive bidding, citing the specialized nature of the system, its integration requirements with existing detention center operations, and the critical importance of pharmacy services to inmate healthcare delivery. The justification emphasizes operational factors such as system reliability, 24/7 availability requirements, pharmacist control protocols, and compliance with correctional healthcare regulations as factors limiting vendor availability. Pricing terms, contract duration, and renewal options would be negotiated directly with Advanced Pharmacy Solutions under the sole source authority granted through this justification document.
