This notice, issued on October 28, 2025, announces the government's intention to negotiate directly with OPEX Corp., a large business entity, rather than conduct a competitive solicitation. The procurement is authorized under 38 U.S. Code 8127 and VAAR 852.819-70008, which permit sole source awards under specified circumstances. The digital scanners will be deployed at Mail by Meds facilities in Murfreesboro, Tennessee and Cheyenne, Wyoming.

The objective of this procurement is to provide upgraded equipment necessary to support critical prescription mailing operations that process approximately 2,400 prescriptions weekly at each designated location to serve veterans. While OPEX Corp. is the identified sole source recipient, the VA welcomes capability statements from all responsible sources to be submitted via email to wade.cunningham@va.gov by the November 30, 2025 deadline at 2 PM Central Time for consideration of future requirements. The procurement falls under NAICS Code 334118 (Computer Terminal and Other Computer Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing) and PSC Code 7490 (Miscellaneous Office Machines).
