The contract will cover a base period plus three option years, with a total estimated value of $38,281, and interested parties may contact Purchasing Agent Winona Kitto at winona.kitto@ihs.gov for further information.

    OMNICELL LSJ LEASE BUYOUT 2025 - Signed.pdf
    The document serves as a Limited-Sources Justification (LSJ) template for acquiring an Automated Controlled Substance Cabinet through the Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) for the Indian Health Service (IHS) in 2025. The justification outlines the need to procure a specialized cabinet from Omnicell, Inc., as other suppliers cannot meet the unique requirements due to structural integrations within the Pine Point Pharmacy. The acquisition includes a lease buyout of existing equipment, with an estimated total value of $38,281. The document emphasizes the urgency and necessity of this purchase due to compliance with regulations surrounding controlled substances, documenting the historical use of the Omnicell products and the implications of switching vendors, including potential training and structural modifications. Market research confirms that no equivalent products meet the identified needs, solidifying the justification for non-competitive procurement. The approval process requires multiple levels of certification, including those from the program manager, contracting officer, and legal review, ensuring adherence to federal regulations. This LSJ illustrates the government's method of ensuring compliance and justifying sole-source procurements in specific scenarios, aligned with the regulations established in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR).
