- Contract Type: Firm-Fixed Price Purchase Order

- Period of Performance: May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2031 (Base year + four one-year option periods)
- Award Date: May 4, 2026 (Published Date)

Justification & Evaluation
This was a sole-source acquisition justified by the fact that Carefusion is the exclusive developer and vendor of the proprietary Alaris software. This software is the only system fully compatible with BACH's existing hardware. Market research, including a sources sought notice on SAM.gov, confirmed no other viable responses. The acquisition was valued at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT), and publicizing requirements for FAR Part 12 actions did not apply. An Authority to Operate (ATO) for the product is already in place.
