The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 16 is procuring twelve BD Pyxis Cubie Drawer HH 20-20-0 units and drawer change installation services for the G.V. "Sonny" Montgomery VA Medical Center's Pharmacy Service in Jackson, Mississippi. This procurement is specifically designed to replace outdated Matrix-style drawers in existing BD Pyxis MedStation ES systems to meet enhanced medication safety requirements outlined in the forthcoming VHA Directive 1195. The solicitation requires turnkey installation services, with contractors providing brand new equipment, coordinating installation with the VA Pharmacy Point of Contact, and offering a comprehensive one-year warranty including parts, labor, 24/7 repair support, and one preventive maintenance visit. Equipment delivery must occur within 30 days of contract award, with all installation work performed during normal business hours Monday through Friday. The response deadline is August 4, 2025 at 2:00 PM Central Time, and the procurement falls under NAICS code 339112 for Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing.

This is designated as a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) sole source procurement, with the contract being awarded to Carefusion Solutions LLC under the statutory authority of "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements" per FAR 6.302-1. The justification for sole sourcing emphasizes system compatibility requirements, compliance with VA directives, warranty considerations, and the medical center's existing investment in the BD Pyxis ecosystem. While no specific contract value is disclosed in the available documents, the procurement involves twelve specialized medical equipment units plus installation services. The place of performance is Jackson, Mississippi 39216, specifically at the G.V. "Sonny" Montgomery VA Medical Center. Market research was conducted through a notice of intent to sole source posted on Contract Opportunities, with database searches across federal acquisition resources yielding no alternative sources capable of meeting the specific compatibility and regulatory requirements.
