MMCAP Infuse MMS20250002 - Pharmacy Automation Solutions & Supplies

MMCAP Infuse, a governmental cooperative operated by the Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, is conducting a Request for Proposal (RFP) for pharmacy automation solutions and supplies intended for state and local government facilities nationwide. The procurement seeks comprehensive pharmacy automation equipment across multiple categories including repackaging machines, vial filling machines, automated dispensing cabinets, tablet repackaging/counting machines, medication vending machines, prescription pickup kiosks, and related storage systems and services. Vendors must propose at least one solution in Product Categories 1-7 to be considered. The evaluation will utilize a 1000-point scale, with 400 points allocated to Responder Questions, 200 points for Solution Information Sheets, and 400 points for Cost Proposal. Key dates include a January 31, 2025 deadline for questions at 2pm Central Time and a proposal submission deadline of February 28, 2025 at 2pm Central Time. The contract term will span up to 5 years with potential for an additional 5-year extension, and vendors will be required to pay a 3% administrative fee on all contract purchases.

The RFP includes specific provisions for disadvantaged and veteran-owned businesses, offering an additional 12% preference points for certified targeted group, economically disadvantaged, and veteran-owned businesses. Current MMCAP Infuse contracts in Categories 1 and 3 generate approximately $1 million in annual sales. The procurement excludes certain technologies such as prescription vials, electronic medical record systems, standalone pharmacy dispensing software, and clinical information systems. Vendors must provide detailed pricing information, including minimum discount percentages, volume discounts, and comprehensive cost structures covering customization, installation, delivery, and potential labor savings. The cost proposal workbook requires vendors to articulate return on investment metrics, specifically addressing potential labor savings and medication error reduction. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the RFP suggests significant potential contract value across multiple pharmacy automation product categories.
