W -- LEASE OF APS PHARMACY UNIT SOL 69D-014-00 DUE 081299 POC Michael Cunningham, Contracting Officer, 414-902-5407 E-MAIL: click here to contact the contracting officer via, michael.cunningham@med.va.gov. The Great Lakes Acquisition Center intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Automated Prescription Systems of Pineville LA for lease of their Pharmacy Unit at the Hines IL VA Hospital for the period October 1, 1999, through September 30, 2000, plus two, one-year options to renew. The unit consists of 46 each Hopsital Read Out (HRO) Cells with Lock; 12 each Locking Super Cells; and 2 each Computer Link with Lock. Lease includes service and exchange of listed items. This is considered to be a sole source because it is a continuation of an ongoing two year lease of this equipment which is already on site at the Hines IL VA Hospital. It would not be practical to substitute different equipment due to the expense and delays involved and the fact that this equipment is configured to work in conjunction with other equipment already at Hines VA. Other firms who believe that they can meet VA needs must provide information about their equipment to this office by no later than August 12, 1999. It is OK to fax such information. Fax number is 414-902-5440. Posted 07/28/99 (W-SN360196). (0209)
