This document is a Justification Under Simplified Procedures for a brand name procurement by the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 6. The procurement is for Omnicell XT Extension hardware, PADE Interface upgrade, and Omnicell IVX Workflow system for the Salisbury VA Medical Center, Kernersville Health Care Center, and Charlotte VA Medical Center. The total estimated cost is redacted, with a performance period from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2026. The acquisition involves 74 Omnicell XT Extension Console upgrades (18 consoles for Omnicell XT Anesthesia Workstations and 26 for Half-Height Workstations, 30 for Full-Height Workstations), including hardware upgrades like a new trusted platform module (TPM) chip, touchscreen, and keyboard, and software upgrades to connect Automated Dispensing Cabinets to CPRS/VISTA. The procurement is restricted to a single source (Omnicell) due to proprietary requirements and compatibility with existing systems, with market research identifying one large business OEM (Omnicell) and one authorized distributor (Trillamed) capable of providing the required equipment.
