The VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System (VAPHS) intends to negotiate on a sole-source basis with

ALK Abello, Inc., 1700 Royston Lane, Round Rock, TX 78664-9555 for as-needed allergy medications to support the UD Medical Center Allergy Clinic, 30 University Dr., Pittsburgh, PA 15240-1000.



This procurement is being conducted in accordance with FAR 6.302-1(b)(1)(i) (only one responsible source) as it is believed that only ALK Abello, Inc. is capable of providing all of the standardized and custom allergenic extract required within the short timeframe the products were needed. Delivery of the required items to the veterans cannot be interrupted by non-availability and any change in the formulary of the medications, or even minor changes in allergenic extracts from those currently being procured thru ALK Abello could result in allergic reactions in patients and could necessitate restarting therapy.
