1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 04, Lebanon VA

Medical Center, 1700 Lincoln Avenue, Lebanon, PA 17042. 2237# 595-25-3-480- 0170.

2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: The Lebanon Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) has a brand-name requirement for five (5) BD Pyxis ES Medication Dispensing Refrigerators.

This ensures continuity of care facility wide and the seamless transition with the existing Pyxis Medication Management System. Installation and training will be required.

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: Based on market research, only one brand can integrate with the current BD Pyxis server in place at the facility.

This refrigerator is the only single-line item access medical grade refrigerator on the market, featuring temperature management and secure locking bins accessed only via BD Pyxis MedStation ES system. The BD Pyxis platform offers enterprise-wide medication management through integration with Health and Information Technology systems.

This refrigerator is critical to operational functionality as it provides access to urgent, emergent, and operational requirements throughout the entire facility. This will secondarily improve diversion responsibilities through an integrated algorithmic user assessment. Improved access to medications and patient-medication data supports clinical safety and efficiency while reducing the risk of potential errors.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: Market research was completed based upon the brand name limitation.
