DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS Justification for Single Source Awards IAW FAR 13.106-1 For Over Micro-Purchase Threshold but Not Exceeding the SAT ($250K) Acquisition Plan Action ID: ***REDACTED*** Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 4, Lebanon Medical Center. Requestor: Lebanon VA Medical Center. 2237: ***REDACTED*** Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: This system will replace our current Qmatic kiosk ticketing system and will work in conjunction with our ScriptPro s SP Central Pharmacy Management, Workflow, and Telepharmacy Systems to process prescriptions from point of entry to point of sale. ScriptPro s Pharmacy Services Portal is a hardware and software solution that provides self-service patient pharmacy services, ticket queuing and patient/prescription integration. The system checks the patients into the pharmacy and notifies the staff of the patient s checkin. A ticket is printed for the patient and calls the patient to the pickup window. The Notice board greets the patient and displays what tickets are currently being processed. Window displays are mounted at each counseling window to display which ticket is currently being served at that window. The Pharmacist will use the ScriptPro software to call the patient, process the prescriptions and close out the ticket. Complete reporting functionality is included to track number of tickets issues, number of customers served, wait times, transaction times, etc. In addition, the VA access card can be scanned to retrieve patient information. Therefore, the system will automatically notify the pharmacist and link all prescriptions waiting for the patient (which cannot be done at this moment). Lebanon VA Medical Center requires the current ScriptPro Workstations to be upgraded to SP Datapoint workstations. These workstations work in conjunction with ScriptPro s SP Central Pharmacy Management, Workflow, and Telepharmacy Systems to process prescriptions from point of entry to point of sale. It displays on-screen prescription status lists, automates the collation of patient prescriptions, and provides paperless prescription tracking and batching for each patient. The upgrade shall include sixteen (16) SP Datapoints, nine (9) SP Printers, and installation of all of the equipment. Sixteen (16) ScriptPro Workstations will then be turned-in. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: The new product to be purchase through this acquisition is required to work in conjunction with existing ScriptPro s SP Central Pharmacy Management, Workflow, and Telepharmacy Systems to process prescriptions from point of entry to point of sale are proprietary to ScriptPro and cannot be replaced/upgraded, installed, and/or replaced by any other vendor. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: A search was conducted on AbilityOne, which yielded zero (0) results. Due to the nature of the procurement, Unicor was not reviewed. Viewing GSA has showed the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and other vendors. To seek out additional vendors that could provide ScriptPro related products, a Sources Sought Notification was submitted onto FedBizOpps (FBO.gov). By the closing of the notification, only ScriptPro responded. They confirmed two (2) authorized resellers/distributors that are ***REDACTED***, ***REDACTED*** and ***REDACTED***ScriptPro stated that those vendors are not eligible to provide items related to version 10 upgrade, which is required for this procurement. ScriptPro held a VA FSS, V797P-4237B, for the required items and services. Due to the recent expiration of the VA FSS, the vendor stated that they would honor the previous contract pricing. ScriptPro is the proprietary source for the required products that need to be integrated with already existing hardware and software.

I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. ____________________________ ________________________ ***REDACTED*** Date ***REDACTED*** NCO 4
