About this file
This is a Justification for Single Source Awards document submitted by the Department of Veterans Affairs for a simplified acquisition procedure under FAR 13.106-1. The contracting activity is Network Contracting Office (NCO) 15, located in Leavenworth, Kansas, acting in support of VA Veterans Integrated Service Networks (VISN) 15 Facilities. The acquisition plan action ID is 36C255-26-AP-1765, with purchase request number 491-26-4-1105-0015.
The requirement is for Pyxis Server Upgrade services and related supplies, which include software, licensing, server components, configuration services, and upgrade support necessary to upgrade all VISN 15 Pyxis servers to a platform compatible with Windows 11 and Windows Server 2025. The contractor shall perform installation, configuration, integration, testing, and validation at each VISN 15 medical center while ensuring minimal downtime and full continuity of medication and supply dispensing operations. The justification for single source procurement is based on the highly specialized and proprietary nature of the equipment, which can only be supplied and serviced by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (BD) and its certified field service technicians through CareFusion Solutions, LLC. The document notes that use of non-authorized vendors would void existing warranties, eliminate manufacturer support, and shift liability for equipment damage to the facility. The contracting officer, Betty Flores, certified the justification on April 20, 2026, confirming the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of her knowledge and belief.

1. Contracting Activity:
Network Contracting Office (NCO) 15, 3450 S. 4th Street Trafficway, Leavenworth, KS 66408 in support with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Veterans Integrated Service Networks (VISN) 15 Facilities.
Purchase Request Number: 491-26-4-1105-0015
2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount:
The Contractor shall provide the Pyxis Server Upgrade Pyxis supply station systems. This will include software, licensing, server components, configuration services, and upgrade support necessary to bring all VISN 15 Pyxis servers to the approved platform compatible with Windows 11 and Windows Server 2025. The contractor shall perform installation, configuration, integration, testing, and validation at each VISN 15 medical center, ensuring minimal downtime and full continuity of medication and supply dispensing operations.
3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:
Due to the highly specialized and proprietary nature of the equipment, these products and services can only be supplied by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and performed by BD’s certified field service technicians. Additionally, any software support or services conducted by a third-party vendor would void existing warranties and would not be supported by CareFusion Solutions, LLC. If a non-authorized vendor is used, any resulting damage to the equipment will be the responsibility of the facility, and the manufacturer will not be held liable.
4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:
