BD Pyxis ES Medical Dispensing Refrigerators

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 is procuring five BD Pyxis ES Medication Dispensing Refrigerators for the Lebanon VA Medical Center in support of various Community-Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs). This is a brand-name-only solicitation requiring specific model configurations: one 5 cubic foot refrigerator with 9 standard bins and four 13 cubic foot refrigerators with 15 standard bins.

The solicitation specifies that only the BD Pyxis refrigerator can integrate with the current server while providing unique features like single-line item access, secure temperature-managed storage, and integration with Health and Information Technology systems. All quotes must be submitted via email to joanne.skaff@va.gov no later than 4:00 PM EST on July 30, 2025, with late submissions not accepted and phone calls prohibited.
