Semi Auto Packer Supplies for the TUCSON CMOP

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 is conducting market research for Semi Auto Packer Supplies to support the Tucson Consolidated Mail Outpatient Pharmacy (CMOP). The procurement seeks six line items of supplies including roller bags, thermal transfer ribbons, copy paper, printer toner, imaging kits, and fuser maintenance kits for PAC Machinery and Lexmark printers used in the pharmacy's packaging and printing operations. Interested vendors must submit responses by October 28, 2025 at 2:00 PM Central Time via email to Jennifer.Knight@va.gov, including company point of contact information, SAM Unique ID Number, a capability statement, and completion of the provided Excel spreadsheet. While alternative part numbers are permitted for some items, they must meet technical specifications and may require testing at the Tucson CMOP facility. The VA emphasizes that this sources sought notice does not obligate the agency to issue a formal solicitation, and quotes are not being solicited at this time.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and does not identify any incumbent contractors. The contract is anticipated to be structured as a base 1-year agreement with one optional year, with all deliveries directed to the VA CMOP Tucson facility at 3675 Britannia Drive. Line Item 3 (copy paper) is restricted to AbilityOne Vendors or authorized distributors only, which represents a key qualification requirement. Specific quantity requirements include 480 units of 10x13 roller bags, 300 units of thermal transfer ribbons, 3,480 boxes of copy paper, 16 boxes of Lexmark M5270 toner, 16 imaging kits, and 96 fuser kits, with most items requiring monthly delivery schedules. While no specific budget range is disclosed in the sources sought announcement, the substantial quantities and monthly delivery requirements indicate a material procurement for the facility's operational needs.
