This requirement includes the purchase of M48 medical carts that provides support to the nursing service inside the James H. Quillen Veterans Affairs Medical Center. The medical carts will provide point-of-care computing in healthcare by providing professionals with superior ergonomic capabilities and enhanced storage flexibility. Additionally, the medical carts provide medication that are configurable to assist hospital workflow and medication administration through bedside documentation, accurate medication distribution and computerized physician order entry. These medical carts can be utilized in intensive care units, emergency departments, outpatient areas, operating rooms and patient registration areas. The requested medical carts will provide much needed assistance to each department within the James H.

Contractor will be responsible for the delivery of the medical carts to the James H.

Quillen Veterans Medical Center in a timely manner.

NCO 9 intends to non-competitively award this requirement to I3 Federal, LLC since the brand of medication carts is most compatible with current network of medication carts that are being utilized throughout the facility. The medication carts previously obtained from I3 Federal, LLC have provided the facility with the capacity to accurately dispense medication to veteran patients with minimal delays. As a result, any contractor other than I3 Federal, LLC that would provide medication carts to the facility would unintentionally cause a delay in medication dispersal. Unnecessary delays cannot be endured.
