P03 Attachment 1 FAR 13 5 Sole Source Justification SAT-SAP Signed p_Redacted.pdf

This is a Sole Source Justification under FAR 13.5 Simplified Acquisition Procedures for Certain Commercial Items issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs.

The contracting activity is VISN 23, 499 Medical Center NCO 23, Network/Program Contracting Office 2237. The acquisition involves installation, expansion, and comprehensive support for ScriptPro pharmacy management solutions across multiple VA facilities to maintain safe, efficient ambulatory pharmacy operations. The project includes upgrading to WMS 2.0, adding portal and interface capabilities, enhancing robotics with inspection cameras, refreshing hardware and printers, and installing legacy customer-owned ScriptPro equipment. The contractor must provide a unified platform interfacing with the VA Electronic Health Record, receiving prescription data and returning dispensing history to patient records. Competition is restricted based on the rationale that only ScriptPro is capable of meeting the requirements, as the VA's ScriptPro Pharmacy management system has been in use since 1996 across 140+ medical facilities. The justification documents that no other brand software can upgrade the existing ScriptPro system due to its proprietary nature, and replacing the system would require extensive implementation efforts and replacement of all existing ScriptPro workflow systems, robotics, and end-point devices, which may severely limit functionality and interoperability. Market research was conducted and determined no additional sources can meet requirements, with no anticipated competition. The Contracting Officer has determined anticipated pricing will be fair and reasonable. The justification is effective as of December 30, 2025 (Revision 02).
