## Description

*RFQ submission date is NLT 20 August 2025. *Please see final document versions for "RFQ_36C77025Q0220_site visit and extended submission date", "S06_SOR TCA Sytem Installation and Tote Line Upgrade_v.3", and S05_Questions and Clarifications_Q0220_8.13.2025" The purpose of this procurement is to replace the existing Tablet and Capsule Automation (IPD area) and ancillary support systems at the Dallas CMOP with new, proven pharmacy automation (TCA) that is faster, safer, and more reliable.

Hardware shall include, but is not limited to, pucks, puck conveyance, labelers, weight scale, automatic dispensers, canisters, post weight scales, high resolution camera, exception station, workstations, pharmacy verification stations, cappers, sealers, and associated tote conveyors. Tote line upgrades are needed to increase tote capacity and reduce choke points which will increase throughput throughout the system.

The new Tablet Capsule Automation aka TCA, plus Tote line upgrade equipment must be fully integrated with the existing Pharmacy Operating System (POS) and Tote Conveyor and production system, with no single point of failure that meets the accuracy, timeliness, and throughput requirements of the dynamic workload of the Dallas CMOP.

The Dallas CMOP requires a contractor to serve as a systems integrator who will design, build, and integrate a working TCA area, and upgrade tote line equipment, with the current VA CMOP National data infrastructure and POS. Any system, subsystem, or component shall be fully functional and fully integrated with the CMOP electronic data structure and the Pharmacy Operating System (POS). The TCA equipment shall be capable of dispensing individual solid dosage forms.

Ancillary support systems, comprehensive data logging, collection and reporting system are required. Responses shall demonstrate a complete understanding of the need and how the contractor plans to meet the SOR requirements.
