Automated Medication Dispensing System

Broward College is seeking to procure an Automated Medication Dispensing System through a non-competitive award process, specifically five BD Pyxis MedStation ES systems for its Health Sciences Nursing Program. The procurement is being conducted pursuant to Florida Department of Education procurement rules and Broward College Policy 6Hx2-6.34, with Medical Shipment LLC identified as the sole source provider. The systems feature smart CUBIE technology with configurable storage pockets designed to integrate with Healthcare Information Technology systems and will be used to train nursing students who perform clinical rotations at various healthcare facilities including Broward Health, Memorial Health, and HCA. Interested parties can submit potential responses by 2:30 p.m. ET on January 14, 2025, via email to yruiz@broward.edu. The procurement notice covers jurisdictions in Broward County and specifically relates to the college's nursing education infrastructure and training capabilities.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, with Medical Shipment LLC explicitly identified as the exclusive reseller for CareFusion Solutions LLC (a BD subsidiary). The estimated award value is $174,000.00, excluding applicable taxes, with the systems representing a specialized medical education technology investment. CareFusion Solutions LLC has established an exclusive partnership with Medical Shipment LLC, meaning no other distributors or third-party vendors are authorized to sell the Pyxis MedStation ES systems. The procurement is structured as a sole source intent to award, which limits competitive bidding and indicates a strategic, targeted acquisition of specialized medical training equipment. The systems will be deployed to support hands-on clinical training for nursing students, suggesting a critical educational technology investment for Broward College's Health Sciences program.
