6515-- Pharmacy Carousel

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract to Omnicell Inc. for the Salem VA Health Care System in Salem, Virginia. This procurement, identified as opportunity 6515 (Pharmacy Carousel), involves the deinstallation and installation of an Omnicell Pharmacy Carousel Medication Dispense System. The contracting action was posted on April 28, 2026, and represents a non-competitive procurement due to the proprietary nature of the technology involved. Network Contracting Office (NCO 6) is issuing this notice to solicit written comments on the sole source determination prior to award. The procurement falls under NAICS Code 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) and PSC Code 6515 (Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies).

The purpose of this procurement is to replace the Salem VA Health Care System's existing Omnicell Pharmacy Carousel Medication Dispense System, which has reached end-of-life status. Due to the proprietary nature of the technology and the requirement for compatibility with existing systems, only Omnicell-branded products and services can meet the government's technical and operational requirements, thereby justifying the sole source determination. Written comments on this sole source award must be submitted no later than 11:00 AM EST on May 1, 2026, directed to Contract Specialist Yanique Williams Chin at Yanique.williamschin@va.gov or mailed to the contracting office at 100 Emancipation Drive, Hampton, VA 23667. Interested parties must identify their firm name, point of contact, title, address, and telephone number when submitting comments. No competitive quotes are being requested as part of this sole source procurement process, and the award will proceed directly to Omnicell Inc. upon completion of the comment period.
