The following verbiage is directly from the Justification and Approval for sole source and is posted in accordance with FAR 5.102(a)(6).

This is a Sole Source Justification for a PharmAssist ROBOTx for the Satellite pharmacy on Luke Air Force Base. In order to maintain continuity and consistency in the Satellite Pharmacy, it is imperative to match the pre-existing equipment with Innovation Associates. Innovation Associates is the standard use pharmacy dispensing equipment in USAF pharmacies. The Satellite pharmacy presently has an Innovation's PharmAssist operating system, which includes a server, 10 workstations, and 8 calibrated auto fill cabinets.
