This is a Sole Source Justification document for a Department of Veterans Affairs procurement under FAR 12.201-1 Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items.

The contracting activity is the Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 23 located in Coralville, Iowa, supporting the Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 23. The acquisition requires a three-year single award, fixed-price indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract for Omnicell maintenance services beginning May 1, 2026, to replace the expiring current support contract (V797D-30111 36C26321F0046) set to expire April 30, 2026. The services encompass all necessary licensing, software, hardware, mounting solutions, labor, materials, tools, parts, equipment, components, testing, training, technical support, maintenance, repair, and project management to support Omnicell pharmacy dispensing equipment across six VISN 23 Health Care System locations: Fort Meade, Hot Springs, Central Iowa, Fargo, Iowa City, Sioux Falls, and St. Cloud. Competition is restricted under the "Only One Responsible Source" authority because Omnicell Inc. is the sole authorized provider capable of maintaining the proprietary Omnicell centralized pharmacy dispensing and IV compounding system without introducing risks to patient safety, system integrity, warranties, compliance, and continuity of service. Market research confirmed no small business set-asides or alternatives exist. The anticipated cost is considered fair and reasonable based on comparison with previously awarded prices. The Contracting Officer certified the justification on February 24, 2026, with approvals from one level above and the VHA Advocate for Competition and RPO HCA at $900K to $90 million.
