About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration, specifically Network Contracting Office 15, intends to award a sole-source Firm Fixed Price contract to Omnicell, Inc. for two specific pharmacy equipment items: an IVX (IVS-PNT-002) Epson Pharmacy Label printer and an IVX (IVS-SCN-002) Zebra Barcode Scanner for the Harry S. Truman Memorial Veterans' Hospital in Columbia, MO. The procurement is part of an ongoing effort to implement the IVX Workflow Pharmacy Camera System and IVX Cloud Virtual Server Software purchased in 2023, with the primary objective of enhancing sterile product compounding compliance with USP 797/800 standards. The VA has determined Omnicell is the sole source for these devices, as the company does not contract with third parties and maintains exclusive compatibility with their existing system. Interested parties must respond by March 9, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST to Erika.Kobulnicky@va.gov, providing clear evidence of capability and an Authorization Service Letter from Enercon Engineering. The solicitation falls under NAICS code 339112 and PSC 6515, with no specific set-aside designations.
The pre-solicitation notice does not specify a precise award value or budget range for the procurement. The contract will be for two additional pharmacy printers and scanners, which are deemed necessary for implementing the hospital's medication verification technology. No incumbent contractor is mentioned, and the procurement is positioned as an extension of previously purchased Omnicell equipment. The statutory authority for this noncompetitive acquisition is FAR 13.106-1(b) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, indicating a streamlined acquisition process. The VA retains sole discretion in determining whether to compete the procurement, despite the sources sought notice. While the notice invites interested parties to demonstrate capability, the language strongly suggests that Omnicell will be the awarded vendor due to the proprietary nature of their equipment and their policy of not contracting with third-party providers.
