About this opportunity

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 is conducting market research through this Sources Sought Notice to identify qualified vendors capable of providing manufacturing machinery and related equipment for the Tucson Consolidated Mail Outpatient Pharmacy (CMOP) facility upgrade project. The primary scope involves upgrading the existing puck conveyor system, expanding Automated Tablet Dispensing (ATD) fingers from 40 cells to at least 60 cells per finger, and installing a new dedicated ATD finger with 60 cells for back-order prescriptions. The contractor must deliver a complete turnkey solution encompassing system design, fabrication, installation, training, documentation, and warranty support while adhering to OSHA, ANSI, ASME, NFPA, ISO 13849, and NEC standards. Interested vendors must submit responses by May 8, 2026 at 9:00 AM Central Time to Michael McAlhaney, Contract Specialist, at Michael.McAlhaney@va.gov or (913) 684-1976, limited to five pages and including company information, capability statements, past performance on comparable projects within the past three years, and required certifications and licenses. Although evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in this pre-solicitation notice, prospective contractors should anticipate assessment based on technical capability, relevant experience, compliance with regulatory standards, and ability to execute installation during non-operating hours to maintain the facility's 80,000-daily-prescription processing capacity.

This Sources Sought Notice does not utilize any set-aside designations, and no incumbent contractor or current award value is identified in the announcement. The notice is issued for information and planning purposes only, and no formal solicitation, quotes, or proposals are currently being accepted; a solicitation may be issued at a later date at the contracting office's discretion. The facility currently operates two-shift pharmacy operations processing approximately 80,000 prescriptions daily with the puck line running from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM, Monday through Friday, establishing a critical operational timeline for the upgrade project. The contractor must provide a minimum one-year warranty covering workmanship, materials, design, and performance, with 24/7 toll-free technical support and field service response times ranging from 4 to 48 hours depending on severity level. All responses become government property and will not be returned, with respondents bearing all costs associated with submitting information; prior to any contract award, successful vendors must maintain current registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) database with completed electronic representations and certifications.
