BRAND NAME JUSTIFICATION - PYXIS - REDACTED.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Prisons. The agency seeks to procure BD Pyxis Automated Medication Dispensing Cabinets (ADMC) manufactured by Becton Dickinson and Company, which are fully integrated into the Bureau's existing infrastructure. The system supports a large-scale, multi-site environment across 121 facilities, currently using approximately 1,600 BD Pyxis branded products.

The procurement is a firm-fixed-price requirements-based contract with a total estimated dollar value that is redacted, covering a twelve-month base period with four individually exercisable twelve-month option periods. The BD Pyxis ADMC system provides advanced security features for medication management, including safe storage, 24-hour-controlled access, electronic latch systems, fingerprint readers, and digital display sensors. The system is uniquely integrated with the Bureau's electronic medical record (BEMR) system and has been determined to be the only viable product that meets the agency's specific operational requirements without disrupting critical healthcare services.
