This opportunity is designated as a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside under NAICS code 339112 with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. The procurement represents a sole source justification specifically for BD Pyxis products due to their proprietary hardware compatibility and embedded firmware that integrates with the existing BD Pyxis MedStation ES platform.

While specific award values are not disclosed in the main solicitation documents, the procurement includes product costs, shipping, configuration, and professional installation by authorized BD technicians as part of the VA's larger integrated medication management system.
