About this opportunity
The Indian Health Service, Albuquerque Area Office, issued a sources-sought notice on September 22, 2026, announcing a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract renewal to Carefusion Solutions LLC for BD Pyxis Automated Dispensing System and software support services at the Mescalero Indian Health Center in Mescalero, New Mexico, with responses due September 30, 2026. This procurement is restricted to the named vendor under FAR 6.302-1 based on market research establishing Carefusion Solutions LLC as the only vendor capable of providing the required BD Pyxis system and software support services necessary to maintain continuity in the government's existing environment.
The contract covers one base year (August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2027) plus four option years extending through July 31, 2031. IHS requires manufacturer-authorized software licensing, patches, updates, preventative maintenance, repair services, technical support, system diagnostics, proprietary firmware updates, replacement parts, and interoperability support with existing Pyxis infrastructure. The estimated total value falls below the simplified acquisition threshold. Any vendor believing it can meet the requirement must submit a capability statement providing clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government, would not cause delays or increased costs, and would fully support agency mission objectives. The prior contract ran February 16, 2021, through January 31, 2026, under contract number 75H70721P00073.
Notice text
The Indian Health Service (IHS), Albuquerque Area Office (AAO), intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed-price contract to Carefusion Solutions LLC (UEI: E99HA2K3YTG8) for the procurement of BD Pyxis Automated Dispensing System and software support services for the Mescalero Indian Health Center located in Mescalero, NM.
This requirement is a renewal for one base year plus four option years that will be established under this action. This sole source action is being pursued in accordance with FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. The determination is supported by market research indicating Carefusion Solutions LLC is the only vendor capable of providing the required BD Pyxis automated dispensing system and software support services necessary to maintain continuity within the Government’s existing environment.
Period of Performance is for one base year plus four options years, as follows:
Base Year: 08/01/2026 – 07/31/2027
1st Option Year: 08/01/2027 – 07/31/2028
2nd Option Year: 08/01/2028 – 07/31/2029
3rd Option Year: 08/01/2029 – 07/31/2030
4th Option Year: 08/01/2030 – 07/31/2031
The estimated total value is below the simplified acquisition threshold.
BD Pyxis system and software are currently onsite, fully installed and operational, and utilized by clinicians and pharmacy staff. These services are essential to sustain decentralized medication management to support safe, secure, and efficient medication storage, dispensing, inventory control, and regulatory compliance. Any lapse in licensing or support would increase operational risk and may result in loss of vendor-supported functionality.
Parties who believe they can meet this requirement must submit a capability statement demonstrating clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government, would not cause delays or increased costs, and would fully support the mission objectives of the agency.
The determination to compete or not compete this procurement is solely at the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for determining whether competitive procurement is appropriate. The Government is not responsible for any costs incurred in responding to this notice.
This notice is not a solicitation or request for quote.
