About this opportunity

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for profile upgrade software for five Pyxis Medstations at the Harry S. Truman Memorial Veterans' Hospital in Columbia, Missouri. The procurement involves BD/Carefusion proprietary software upgrades (Product ID 135291-01) that will enable medication safety profiling capabilities, requiring pharmacist verification of prescription orders before medication removal by nurses or providers. The sole source justification is based on the proprietary nature of the BD Pyxis software and the need for compatibility with existing Medstation equipment already under a VISN-wide contract, with alternative solutions posing risks to patient safety and requiring extensive retraining. The contract (36C25525P0348) was awarded on June 25, 2025, to an undisclosed vendor for an unknown amount, with delivery and installation required immediately upon award but no later than July 14, 2025. The upgrades are software-based remote installations requiring no travel, and the procurement falls under NAICS code 513210 for Software Publishers.

Statement of Work (SOW)

Profile upgrades for current Pyxis Medstations

GENERAL INFORMATION

1.0    Scope of Work:  The Contractor shall deliver all items listed in section 3.0

     All items must meet all salient characteristics defined in section 3.0

2.0    Background:  BD Pyxis is a sole source contract that was written VISN wide.  Adding profiling ability to these five existing units would match the rest of the machines (from same original contract) that are already profiled.  To be clearer, the upgrades would occur through software upgrade on same equipment.  The software upgrade is proprietary to this particular brand of equipment.  Profiling a Pyxis machine enhances medication safety by not allowing removal of medication without having a prescription order verified by a pharmacist prior to removal for administration by a nurse or provider.
