Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Robotic Arm Conversion RAHC

The Medical Readiness Contracting Office-West at Fort Hood Health Contracting Branch, under the Department of the Army Medical Command, has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract to ScriptPro USA Inc. The contract involves the replacement of three ScriptPro Robots Collating Control Center (CCC) robotic arms at two Reynolds Army Health Clinic (RAHC) pharmacies. This is classified under NAICS code 339112 for Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing with a size standard of 1,000 employees. The contracting office is utilizing FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) authority, which allows for sole source procurement when only one source is reasonably available for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. The government has made clear this is not a request for competitive proposals or quotes.

The primary objective of this procurement is to enhance pharmacy operations through improved vial and cap handling capabilities, better ergonomic safety, and enhanced patient experience via QR code imprinting and standardized configurations. The contract award is scheduled for approximately August 8, 2025, with delivery and installation required by September 30, 2025. Since this is a sole source award, there are no eligibility criteria for contractors to participate, and the government explicitly states it will not honor requests for capability briefings or telephonic inquiries. The justification emphasizes that competitive bidding would void existing warranties and potentially disrupt critical pharmacy operations at the military medical facilities. This represents a firm fixed-price procurement using Defense Health Program funds specifically targeting the replacement of government-owned robotic equipment that requires original equipment manufacturer support.
