6515--Minneapolis VA Health Care System Accessory Bagging System Intent to Sole Source

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 23, intends to award a sole source contract for a pharmacy accessory bagging system (PABS-115V) SX Proline Series. The system must meet specific salient characteristics, including the ability to create and seal unit dose medication bags, barcoding, and tamper-evident seals. The contractor will be responsible for delivery, setup, and training on the new equipment. Interested parties may express their interest by providing a capabilities statement no later than March 28th, 2026. Some key points to consider: • The contract is for a sole source award, and the Department of Veterans Affairs intends to negotiate solely with Midwest Medical Systems if no viable responses are received. • The system must be compatible with the Pak-Edge UD Barcode Labeling Software 2.0. • The contractor must provide installation and training on the new equipment. • The delivery address is the Minneapolis VA Health Care System, and the contractor must include the Veteran Affairs issued Purchase Order Number on the shipping label or packing list.
