DA10--Intent to Sole Source DSS RxTracker

Intent to Sole Source The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 04 (NCO 04), intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Document Storage Systems, Inc., 12575 US HWY 1, Suite 200, Juno Beach, FL 33408, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b). Veterans Integrated Service Network 04 (VISN04) requires an automated and standardized outbound electronic prescribing tool (ePrescribing) for sending prescriptions to be filled at an outside retail pharmacy from all nine (9) VISN04 VA Medical Centers. The DSS RxTracker allows the VA to manage outbound ePrescribing to non-VA retail pharmacies while remaining the source of truth for patient records. Orders are created as Non-VA Medication orders in CPRS, to allow for VA drug formulary checks to be performed before the ePrescription is created. RxTracker consolidates and automates the retail pharmacy electronic prescription process for all medications, including controlled substances if needed. Retail pharmacy orders are submitted via the Surescripts network of pharmacies using appropriate certified methods. The DSS RxTracker is proprietary to DSS, Inc. Potential sources to meet this requirement must have current approval in the VA Technical Reference Model v 21.7. At this time, there are no comparable technologies approved in the VA Technical Reference Model for use by VA to meet this need other than the DSS RxTracker. As such, competition is not anticipated for this procurement. This Notice of Intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals. Parties may identify their interest, accompanied by supporting literature, to the Contract Specialist no later than 09/09/2021 at 10:00 AM EDT.

The determination to conduct a competitive procurement based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer. The NAICS Code for this procurement is 541519.
