The Department of Veterans Affairs has issued a cancellation notice for the brand-name sole source acquisition of BD Pyxis Cubie Drawers under solicitation number 36C25625Q1254. This cancellation is due to a reassessment of the acquisition strategy informed by updated market research. It indicates that a new solicitation may be forthcoming at a later date. The contracting office responsible for this notice is located at 5075 Westheimer Road, Suite 750, Houston, TX 77056-5643, with Caleb Parker designated as the Contract Specialist for further inquiries. The notice, devoid of Recovery Act funding implications, serves to inform potential bidders of the change in procurement approach.
The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking to procure and install twelve BD Pyxis Cubie Drawer HH units to replace outdated Matrix-style drawers in its pharmacies. This upgrade is critical for enhancing medication safety, aligning with VHA Directive 1195, which imposes stringent handling and access controls for high-alert medications. BD Pyxis Cubie Drawers are uniquely compatible with the existing BD Pyxis MedStation ES systems, ensuring operational efficiency and adherence to safety regulations. Third-party alternatives are unsuitable due to security, warranty, and compatibility issues, posing risks to patient safety and regulatory compliance. Market research indicated no viable alternatives, affirming the necessity of this sole-source procurement from Carefusion Solutions LLC. The estimated procurement value encompasses product costs, shipping, configuration, and professional installation. This acquisition underscores the VA’s commitment to maintaining a safe and efficient medication management system while navigating federal acquisition regulations for streamlined procurement processes.
