Q1Answer: All Department of Human Services (DHS) State Operated facility pharmacies use ATP medication repackaging machines to unit dose medications into individual daily doses for State residents. The ATP machines require special packaging materials( I.e. plastic packaging and ribbons). The packaging materials hold the medications and the ribbons print critical information on the packaging material(patient name, medication names and times the dosage is to be given). Each pharmacy has seen a reduction in annual drug costs by going to bulk purchasing and also seen a reduction in inventory value when using the these machines. Workflow efficiencies have also improved with the use of these machines. This is very important when staffing at both pharmacies has been difficult to maintain. Patient safety is enhanced with the use of these machines. Medication errors have seriously decreased as well with the use of these machines.
Q2Answer: The following materials are required for use of the ATP medication packaging machines:

ATP-R65WR ATP Wide Ribbon (6/case) - Cost per case is $179.57 - 561 cases @ cost per case $179.57 = $100,738.77 ETP-WP ATP2 Wide Paper, Extra Long (6/case) - Cost per case is $515.26 - 558 Cases @ cost per case $515.26 = $287,515.08

Shipping costs are estimated at approximately $11,746.15 for all supplies shipped to various facilities bringing the total to $400,000.00.

Q3Answer: DHS has invested over 3.5 million dollars on a drug repackaging system for machines at all of the DHS facility pharmacy locations statewide in the last five (5) years. These machines require ATP packaging materials to run and repackage medications into daily doses for individual residents. The supplies must be purchased from the company the machines were purchased from in order to not void the service and maintenance contracts in place that were purchased with the machines.

The ATP machines have improved processing time within the pharmacy and have also cut down on human errors when processing medications. The machines are very sensitive in nature and any aftermarket products used within the machines can throw off the calibration and create issues within the machines and make them not work properly. The vendor will void service and maintenance contracts and also the warranty if any aftermarket products are used.

Q4Answer: These are the only supplies approved by the vendor to be used in their proprietary ATP drug packaging machines. Also, these supplies are required in order to keep the current service and maintenance agreements and warranties for the machines valid.
altYes:
altNo:
Q5aAnswer: DHS currently has twelve (12) ATP machines in use in facility pharmacy locations statewide. These are the only supplies approved by the vendor to be used in their proprietary ATP drug packaging machines.

Q6Yes:
Q6No:
Q6NA:
Q7Answer: Only the vendor's supplies can be used in the ATP machines and must be purchased directly from the vendor. The vendor does not sell their products to retailers. However, the vendor has agreed to give DHS a 10% discount on all supplies purchased for the ATP machines.

Estimated costs are as follows:

ATP-R65WR ATP Wide Ribbon (6/case) - Cost per case is $179.57 - 561 cases @ cost per case $179.57 = $100,738.77 ETP-WP ATP2 Wide Paper, Extra Long (6/case) - Cost per case is $515.26 - 558 Cases @ cost per case $515.26 = $287,515.08

Shipping costs are estimated at approximately $11,746.15 for all supplies shipped to various facilities bringing the total to $400,000.00.

Q9Answer: If this procurement is delayed, individuals in DHS' care could possibly go without medications leading up to injury or possibly death. The accurate operation and dispensing from these machines directly effects the health and safety of individuals under the care of DHS.
