This is a sole-source justification for a firm-fixed price contract to upgrade Omnicell XT Automated Dispensing Cabinets at the James H. Quillen Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Mountain Home, TN. The contract, with a specified budget of $961,380, is intended for award to the Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Trillamed, LLC. The justification states that only Omnicell-brand equipment is technically compatible with the existing proprietary server system, and Trillamed is Omnicell's sole authorized distributor to U.S. Government entities. Market research concluded that no other responsible sources, particularly SDVOSBs, could meet the agency's requirements without causing substantial duplication of cost or unacceptable delays. The Contracting Officer has determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable.
