OFOC SOP Revision 03 Page 2 of 2 Revision 03 Date: 10/27/2014 was not previously issued under sole-source or limited-sources procedures. (FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(C)

5. Rational/explanation to support cited authority: Heritage Health was contracted to provide CBOC Patient initial prescription fills. The new option year was to begin 10/1/2017.

The OY inadvertently allowed to lapse leaving no service in place to fill initial prescriptions for CBOC patients. VA Facility Pharmacy is not equipped to dispense these prescriptions immediately. Patients cannot go without filling their prescriptions immediately after they are prescribed. Heritage Health Solutions is the only vendor able to commence filling these prescriptions immediately via pharmacy IT systems etc. The process to seek out another vendor and establish networks set up to convey patient information is extensive and time consuming. This contract is intended to maintain continuity in providing Veterans their perscriptions immediately when prescribed. Full and open competition to select a new vendor will be utilized to begin a new contract 5/7/2017.

6. BRAND NAME ONLY: This buy is estimated to exceed $25,000 and this documentation will be posted along with the RFQ on e-Buy, as required by FAR 8.405-6(b)(3).

7. Note that this determination satisfies the requirements of FAR 8.405-6. The requirement to prepare a written justification IAW FAR 6.303 does not apply to Federal Supply Schedules.
