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

(A) Intellicab Will Call automation with RFID technology will reduce hand out errors, reduce patient harm due to handing out the wrong prescription, increase efficiency and quality of care

(B) GSL Solutions' automated cabinets text/call patients, print/email FDA required guidelines and fill out AF Form 85. This will eliminate the number of prescriptions that are not picked up

(C) It will reduce inventory overages and save 8 hours per month returning medications to stock

(D) This technology will help manage high prescription volume and overcome challenges to delivery of safe, efficient patient care, as well as boost pharmacy productivity and materials management.

The IntelliCab will call cabinet system that supports the use of text alerts to notify patients of their prescription is integral to the fulfillment of this requirement. Unfortunately, through market research, other companies were found that could provide the type of cabinets needed, but none of the others supported texting technology. In addition, none of the other companies' models included the RFID system. Therefore, the IntelliCab system and its affiliated equipment and software - as laid out in attached PWS, dated 31 May 2018 - is proposed to be awarded sole source to GSL Solutions (CAGE: 54QB2) in accordance with FAR 6. 302-1 Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition)

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

Because this was a new requirement without any purchase history, web searches were relied upon to find appropriate vendors for what the pharmacy required.

- Upon web search we discovered that there were other cabinet companies but none of them have the RFID system, none has the texting/email capability to inform our patients when their medications are ready for pick up.

- Aside from filling out AF Form 85, it also labels medications that have been picked up as dispensed in CHCS (COmposite Health Care System)

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

If further purchases of will call cabinets are to be made in the future, web searches will be repeated to check to see if any other company has developed or integrated similar RFID/texting technologies into their will call cabinets.

Section F: Contracting Officer's Determination

I have determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source is reasonably available.
