ATTACH 1: J&A for Sole Source JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION 1. This service is required to ensure patient care/safety is not compromised using the PharmASSIST system. This proposed upgrade to the existing system hardware to add additional storage space and to convert to an XP compatible system from the existing Win2K system will eliminate future system failure due to lack of storage space. It will also prevent loss of service due to AFMC?s impending requirement to convert all network connected systems to XP based operating systems. The estimated one time cost for these upgrades is $97,088.00 based on quotes from Innovations (PharmASSIST Enterprise Systems). 2. The PharmASSIST Enterprise System (PAES) is a patented proprietary system consisting of software, and mechanical devices. This equipment is absolutely necessary for patient safety in regards to medication dispensing , without which we would be incapable of guaranteeing a safe product. Equipment Manufacturer: Innovations Associates. Equipment Location: 88DTS/SGQP BLDG 830 Rm 1Q8 (main A, B, & C) 88DTS/SGQP BLDG 1250 (Satellite A&B) 3. In conjunction with FAR 6.302-1(b)(1)(i) ?Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.? The proposed vendor is the only vendor able to provide proprietary support for the PharmASSIST system and as such is the only known source able to satisfy this requirement. Proposed Source: Innovations Associates 627 Field Street Johnson City, NY 13790 877-742-7627 GSA# V797P-4324a 4. The Medical Information Systems Office maintains a constant review of new technologies and capabilities as published in medical computer trade journals.
