For Actions without Options:

Period of Performance: 1 October 2025 – 30 September 2026 Total Value:

4. Authority:

FAR 13.106-1(b)(1): For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT), only one source reasonably available, urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand name, or industrial mobilization.

5. Reasons for Authority Cited: BD Parata/GSL IntelliCab Will Call AutoNotify software subscription service is a feature that is activated in the government-owned BD Parata/GSL IntelliCab Will Call Pharmacy System, which alerts patients that their medication is ready to be picked up. Eisenhower Army Medical Center has a pharmacy prescription pick up service located at the main hospital and the Post Exchange (PX). These services must be sole sourced to BD Parata/GSL because the software is proprietary and any other company software is incompatible with the IntelliSys operating system. Failure to award sole source will add risk to the prescription management system real-time prescription tracking, add physical barriers to patient care with prescription fill delays and dispensing errors.

a. Background: This a recurring requirement for Eisenhower Army Medical Center, to support the

Department of Pharmacy. The previous contract awarded, W91YTZ24P0054, to Parata Systems LLC, included both Moncrief Army Health Clinic, Fort Jackson, SC and Eisenhower Army Medical Center, Fort Gordon, GA and was a sole-source action. Additionally, there are several other awarded contracts that were awarded as sole-sourced, as noted in the list below.

b. Alternatives: There are no alternative sources to procure the required AutoNotify software subscription services.

c. Impact if not approved: Failure to award sole source will add risk to the prescription management system real-time prescription tracking, add physical barriers to patient care with prescription fill delays and dispensing errors.
