RR23-36 Part 8.pdf

This document is a Sole Source Request Form from the State of Utah's Division of Purchasing and General Services for the Clinical Services Bureau, specifically requesting procurement of 3 autosealers from RX Systems Inc. The purchase order is for a 2 card motorized autosealer (item #1002) with an estimated contract value of $14,970.00, including $408.00 for freight costs. The procurement is being conducted as a sole source procurement under the justification that this is the only autosealer that uses the RX blister package and paddles, with the blister packages and paddles already being on contract.

The procurement details indicate that the existing autosealer needs replacement and the new unit requires only a 110 electric outlet, with no need for air compressor lines or additional hoses. The total dimensions of the autosealer are 17"x16.5" x 14". Market research conducted by the Pharmacy Director revealed that most suppliers and pharmacies have upgraded to automated package systems, but this specific sealer must accommodate the unique RX Systems blister package and paddles. The document was requested by Joy Hunsaker, Corrl Program Coordinator II, and was dated 3/23/23, with the procurement process following Utah's specific sole source procurement guidelines under Section 63G-6a-802 of the Utah Procurement Code.
