65 -- FILLING BANK PHARMASSIST

It is the intent of this agency to award a sole source contract under statutory authority of the test program for commercial items Section 4202 of the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996, set forth in Federal Acquisition Regulation 13.501(a)1(ii), only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This agency intends to award to Innovation Associates 627 Field St Johnson City, NY 13790. 1. The 6th Medical Support Squadron Squadron requires the addition of a third PharmAssist drug dispensing system model AS/G-100 and training to be used in the MacDill AFB Satellite Pharmacy. 2. The award of a contract for the PharmAssist system must be awarded to Innovation Associates because they are the sole manufacturer and distributor of this product. The use of any other dispensing systems would pose communication, connectivity and security issues as the equipment has to be compatible with the existing equipment. Due to proprietary rights and technical knowledge it would prevent other companies from installing the equipment and performing system software upgrades unless system replacement takes place. Current replacement of the system is not cost effective for the government. 3. Market research was conducted for the PharmAssist system. Innovation is the only contractor found able to provide the product/service as we require. If no response to this notice is received by 3:00pm EST on Tuesday March 4, 2008, the award for the PharmAssist AS/G-100 will be made to Innovation Associates.
