About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 (VISN 10), Northern Indiana Healthcare System (NIHCS) has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source a five-month follow-on lease for Pyxis ES Medstation Equipment. The procurement, posted on March 10, 2026, is being pursued under FAR Part 6.103-1 authority based on a single responsible source justification. NIHCS intends to negotiate directly with CareFusion Solutions, LLC, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), to provide medication management station equipment and support services for pharmacy operations across multiple VA facilities in Indiana. This special notice is not a competitive solicitation but rather a notification that the government has determined only one vendor can meet the technical and operational requirements for this requirement. The estimated contract value and specific award timeline are outlined in the government's supporting documentation.
The purpose of this procurement is to ensure continued operational pharmacy services at four VA facilities—Fort Wayne, Marion, St. Joseph, and Jackie Walorski Clinic—by securing a five-month lease extension from April 1, 2026, through August 31, 2026. The government has concluded that only CareFusion Solutions possesses the required capabilities to maintain the existing Pyxis system due to technical incompatibility with alternative brands and the proprietary nature of the equipment already installed since 2019. Interested parties who believe competition would be advantageous to the government may submit clear and convincing evidence challenging this sole source determination by the deadline of 5:00 p.m. EST on Friday, March 13, 2026. The contract will be awarded as a firm fixed price agreement with no option years. Contractors should direct inquiries to Contract Specialist Lonnelle Jones at lonnelle.jones@va.gov. No solicitation package is currently available, and this notice does not constitute a request for proposals or offers.
