1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 04, Lebanon VA

Medical Center, 1700 Lincoln Avenue, Lebanon, PA 17042. 2237# 595-25-3-455- 0051.

2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: The Lebanon VA Medical Center has a brand name requirement for a Five (5) Drawer, BD Pyxis MedStation ES Tower to support their York Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) expansion.

The estimated value of the proposed action is: .

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: This is a brand name requirement as necessary characteristics are limited to one manufacturer. Only the BD Pyxis has the ability to integrate with the current BD MedStations and platform already installed at the facility. The BD Pyxis MedStation is an automated medication dispensing system supporting decentralized medication management. It helps clinicians safely and efficiently dispense the right medications, for the right patients, at the prescribed time. The BD Pyxis platform offers enterprise-wise medication management through integration with Health and Information Technology systems. These cabinets are critical to operational functionality as they provide access to urgent, emergent and operational requirements after Pharmacy Services general operational hours. They provide systemic integration for billing and documentation as well as required security for controlled substances as required regulatory government agencies. This will secondarily improve diversion responsibilities through an integrated algorithmic user assessment. Improved access to medications and patient-medication data supports safety and efficiency while reducing the risk of potential errors.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: Market research was completed based upon the brand name limitation. In the future, if another brand would be acceptable, the Government would seek sources to the fullest extent practicable. As of now, based upon the market
