JA - Eyecon_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for Single Source Award for the Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically for two Eyecon 9430 filling stations. The procurement is for a vision-based pill counting and validation system that captures an image of every pill transaction, integrating with ScriptPro and McKesson software. The system includes color pill image capture, barcode scanning, and updated medication data, intended for use in the Pharmacy Vault to ensure accurate pill dispensing and controlled substance inspections.

The single-source justification highlights that Eyecon system can only integrate with ScriptPro through Eyecon-approved retailers. Market research confirmed only Eyecon 9430 is compatible with the ScriptPro system, with limited distribution channels including two authorized small business distributors: Pharmacy Technology Solutions (PTS) and SDVOSB TrillaMed, LLC. The procurement is over micro-purchase threshold but not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) of $250,000, with the Altoona VA Medical Center in Pennsylvania as the contracting activity. The document is signed by the Contracting Officer and dated for an effective date of 11/15/2024.
