New Requirement. Order against: FSS Contract Number: V797D-30111 Name of Proposed Contractor: Omnicell Inc. Street Address: 590 Middlefield Rd. City, State, Zip: Mountain view, California 94043-4008 Phone: 800-850-6664 Description of Supplies or Services: Fiscal year 2020 contract for Ann Arbor and Toledo CBOC for monthly lease and maintenance support services for Omnicell equipment. (4) IDENTIFY THE AUTHORITY AND

SUPPORTING RATIONALE (see 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(A), (B), and (C) or 8.405-6(b)), AND IF APPLICABLE, A DEMONSTRATION OF THE PROPOSED CONTRACTOR S UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS TO PROVIDE THE REQUIRED SUPPLY OR SERVICE. An urgent and compelling need exists, and following the ordering procedures would result in unacceptable delays. Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized; Omnicell equipment is proprietary to Omnicell, Inc. and they are the only vendor that can service their equipment. In the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule order provided that the original order was placed in accordance with the applicable Federal Supply Schedule ordering procedures. The original order must not have been previously issued under sole source or limited source procedures. Items peculiar to one manufacturer: A patent, copyright or proprietary data limits competition. The proprietary data is: (If FAR 8.405-6(a)(2)iii before posting. Do not include specific proprietary data. Only mention the type of equipment, procedure, etc. to show that proprietary supplies or services are being procured.) These are direct replacements parts/components for existing equipment. The material/service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed/performing. Describe the equipment/function you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system. (5) DESCRIBE WHY YOU BELIEVE THE ORDER REPRESENTS THE BEST VALUE CONSISTENT WITH FAR 8.404(d) TO AID THE CONTRACTING OFFICER IN MAKING THIS BEST VALUE DETERMINATION: Omnicell equipment is proprietary to Omnicell and they have no distributors for equipment or support services. All Omnicell equipment is compatible/interoperable with existing Omnicell servers, software, hardware and vista programs at the VA. Utilization of other sources for medication dispensing cabinets at this time is not feasible as they will not integrate into our current Omnicell medication dispensing cabinet system. The current equipment on site is still in good working condition. To replace the current equipment, the server database, software and hardware throughout the hospital and CBOC would have to be replaced. It would be very costly to switch the entire system over to a new product at this time. (6) DESCRIBE THE MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AMONG SCHEDULE HOLDERS AND THE RESULTS OR A STATEMENT OF THE REASON MARKET RESEARCH WAS NOT CONDUCTED: VIP was queried under NAICS 339112 and 324 concerns were found. A keyword search of Omnicell was completed and zero concerns were found. Market research was conducted on GSA Advantage and the NAC. There are two large business vendors that can provide medication management systems, Omnicell and Carefusion Solutions. It was found it would be too costly to switch over to an entirely new system at this time as we would have to also purchase a new server and equipment to have all aspect compatible with all equipment and programs currently in place at the VA. Market research showed that only Omnicell can meet the requirement. (7) ANY OTHER FACTS SUPPORTING THE JUSTIFICATION: N/A (8) A STATEMENT OF THE ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE AGENCY MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS THAT LED TO THE RESTRICTED CONSIDERATION BEFORE ANY SUBSEQUENT ACQUISITION FOR THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES IS MADE: In the future, when the current equipment is at its end of life, the market will be surveyed for new products and equipment that can meet the requirements. (9) REQUIREMENTS CERTIFICATION: I certify that the requirement outlined in this justification is a Bona Fide Need of the Department of Veterans Affairs and that the supporting data under my cognizance, which are included in the justification, are accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge. I understand that processing of this limited sources justification restricts consideration of Federal Supply Schedule contractors to fewer than the number required by FAR Subpart 8.4.
