AutoMed FastPak System

The Utah State Hospital is conducting a sole source procurement for maintenance services of the AutoMed FastPak System, originally purchased in 2014 from Parata Systems, LLC d/b/a TCGRX. The contract opportunity, numbered NH20002, was publicly posted on August 2, 2019, with a response deadline of August 12, 2019. This procurement specifically seeks ongoing maintenance support for a medical system that was previously acquired by the hospital. The procurement is classified as a sole source contract, which means no competitive bidding process will be conducted, though potential vendors have an opportunity to challenge this designation by submitting documentation proving they can provide comparable services. The contract aims to ensure continued operational support and maintenance for the AutoMed FastPak medical system, with vendors required to demonstrate technical capability, service reliability, and comprehensive maintenance expertise specific to this medical technology platform.

While the procurement appears to be specifically targeted to TCGRX as the original equipment manufacturer, the notice includes a formal process for potential alternative vendors to contest the sole source award. The contract covers multiple commodity codes related to medical supplies, healthcare facility products, and provider services. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the documentation. The procurement is limited to maintenance services for the existing AutoMed FastPak System, which suggests integration requirements with the current medical technology infrastructure at the Utah State Hospital. No specific contract value or budget range was disclosed in the available documentation. The sole source nature of the procurement indicates that TCGRX is likely to be the awarded vendor unless a compelling alternative vendor challenge is successfully presented during the public notice period.
