6515--RFQ- Brand Name Capsa ACMi MEDICATION CARTS

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 is procuring brand-name Capsa ACMI Medication Carts for the James J. Peters VA Medical Center in Bronx, New York, with proposals due June 15, 2026. This is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) set-aside on a sole-source basis, with no open competition.

The procurement requires eight ACMI 9 high carts (model VA-ACMi10BNY), one 2-bay AC transfer cart (VA-ACTR-C03-D0002), and twelve Avalo 2-tier cassettes with 5.5-inch bins (VA12750). Carts must support Bar Code Medication Administration (BCMA) computers, with 24-inch depth by 38-inch width base dimensions, 43-inch standard height, 9-high drawer configuration, keyless access, and auto-relocking security. The equipment is being procured to replace end-of-life medication wall cabinets in the Community Living Center and will be delivered to the pharmacy department at 130 West Kingsbridge Road on an FOB Destination basis within 8 weeks of award. The contractor must provide a three-year warranty covering batteries.

The contract is firm fixed-price under NAICS code 339113, Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing. Offerors must submit the Buy American Certificate (FAR 52.225-2), VA Notice of Limitations on Subcontracting (VAAR 852.219-76), and compliance certification for Public Law 119-37, Section 258 (VAAR 852.240-70) with their proposals. The contracting officer is Janelle Bonafede. The justification for single source award cites the carts' unique compatibility with the facility's existing IT infrastructure and medication management systems, and their ability to hold 8–12 patients' medications per cart with appropriate bin space unavailable in competing brands.
