Section A: General Contract Information

Is this a Bridge Action as defined in the AF Bridge Action Reduction Plan? Yes No

Contracting Activity: 17th Contracting Squadron

Project/Program Name: GSL Solutions

Purchase Request / Local ID Number: F1Z4009101AC01

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options):

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

GSL will support the pharmacy located at 271 For Richardson Ave, Goodfellow AFB, TX. 76908. The support will provide all necessary equipment, tools, and software required to update and maintain software, hardware, and auxiliary equipment related to the IntelliCab solution. This includes on call services for emergency maintenance.

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name

IAW FAR 13.106(b)(1)(i) - Contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand-name or industrial mobilization. The IntelliCab Will Call Prescription Management System is what is used in the 17 MDG Pharmacy to dispense patient's prescriptions. GSL Solutions Inc. parts for their unit are proprietary and labor has to be accomplished by GSL Solutions Inc. certified personnel. Hiring another vendor to maintenance the equipment can jeopardize the current operations of the installed equipment. The only other solutions would be to replace the entire hardware/software solution, which would render the current RFID cabinets useless by the pharmacy and cost the Government more money to purchase a new system. Research has concluded that GSL Solutions Inc. IntelliCab Will Call Prescription Management System is a proprietary piece of equipment. There are no other companies that can work on this unit. GSL Solutions Inc. is offering a complete support and maintenance agreement plan for the unit at a fair and reasonable price. The GSL Solution software and hardware is not re-sold or duplicated in its function to any vendor. The current storage function of the INteliSys benchmarked the software market, no other vendors offers the exact and/or similar function of safety, storage, location identification, and mass reconciliation that GSL offers. The will call function is offered through a current software system PharmAssist, however the company does not possess an Authorize to Connect (ATO) agreement with the military and therefore cannot be used. The GSL offers the same capability with text notification to patients with the appropriate ATO already in place.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

No actions are being taken due to the fact that there is only one source that offers a preventative maintenance plan for this unit.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards

The Air Force Pharmacy's Technology Subject Interest Group (SIG) is working to consolidate the current innovative hardware/ software within pharmacies, however this is future projection and agreements and contracts have not been established with other vendors as of yet. We will continue to follow up on the determination of potential future sources if any become available for other than GSL Solution software, equipment, or services.
