    This document outlines the justification for a single-source procurement by the US Department of Veterans Affairs' Great Lakes Acquisition Center for the replacement of the inpatient pharmacy's pill counting system at Lovell FHCC. The current system, EYECON 9400, is obsolete, necessitating the acquisition of the proprietary EYECON 9420 system from Avery Weigh-Tronix, LLC / Scriptpro. The justification emphasizes that the unique software and functionality of the EYECON 9420 are critical for ensuring patient safety and operational efficiency, as adopting an alternative system could lead to complications in training and procedural standards. Market research indicated a limited availability of vendors able to meet these specifications, with only one small business being identified as authorized to supply the required system. The documentation includes a certification by the contracting officer affirming the accuracy of the justification in accordance with established federal acquisition regulations. This procurement illustrates the VA's commitment to maintaining high standards of care through the consistent and reliable functioning of its pharmacy services.
