Evaluation
This award followed a solicitation process (Solicitation Number 36C26126Q0254) which was initially preceded by a Justification and Approval (J&A) for other than full and open competition, citing "Only One Responsible Source" due to Omnicell Inc.'s proprietary nature and limited authorized distributors. Market research was conducted, and while a pre-solicitation notice indicated an intent for a sole-source award to Omnicell Inc., the final award was made to TRILLAMED LLC. Evaluation for the associated Request for Quotation (RFQ) was based on price alone.
Additional Notes
The upgrade was deemed necessary to avoid substantial duplication of cost and inconvenience that would result from replacing the entire Omnicell XT Cabinet Systems. The government intends to continue market research for future procurements to foster competition. The contracting office is NCO 21.
