Medication Dispensing Machines

The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (DHS), specifically the Office of Development Programs (ODP), is seeking electronic bids for Medication Dispensing Machines (Automated Pharmacy) to be deployed at two state facilities: the Ebensburg Center in Cambria County and the Selinsgrove Center in Susquehanna County. This procurement requires interested vendors to submit comprehensive electronic bids through the Pennsylvania Supplier Portal (www.pasupplierportal.state.pa.us) by January 15, 2026. All bidders must be registered in the system and obtain a vendor number to participate in the solicitation. The key deliverable is the provision of automated pharmacy dispensing machines that will support medication management processes at these developmental program centers. Bidders must comply with all specifications outlined in the General Conditions and Instructions to Bidders (BOP1201) document, which establishes the procedural framework for bid submissions. Vendors are required to submit firm bids that conform entirely to specifications without exceptions, and all submissions must be made electronically with precise adherence to the outlined guidelines.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly detailed in the provided documentation. The procurement appears open to qualified vendors who can successfully register in the Pennsylvania Supplier Portal and meet the technical requirements for medication dispensing machines. While specific budget ranges were not disclosed, the solicitation covers equipment procurement for two state centers, suggesting a potentially significant contract value. Bidders must demonstrate capability to provide automated pharmacy systems that meet the operational needs of the Ebensburg and Selinsgrove Centers. Additional vendor qualifications include having no outstanding delinquent obligations to the Commonwealth, not being under suspension or debarment, and ability to certify that bid prices were arrived at independently without collusion. All bids must remain firm for sixty days following the bid opening, and successful vendors will need to be registered in both the Pennsylvania Vendor Master file and the Pennsylvania Supplier Portal.
