SOURCES SOUGHT

Sources Sought Only: This is not a request for bids, quotes, or proposals. This is a
Sources Sought notice for the identification of potential vendors capable of providing
the PAR Excellence Weight-based Inventory Management Systems (WBIMS) for the Fayetteville VAMC, 2300 Ramsey Street, Fayetteville, NC 28301. Fayetteville VA Coastal Health Care System presents a need for an improved inventory system, PAR Excellence Weight Based Inventory System (WBIMS). Historically, Supply Chain Management Service (SCMS) has used cycle counting to monitor inventory levels within each service s supply closets. This resupply process of the supply closets is labor and time intensive. In times of heavy workloads due to low availability of supply personnel and/or hospital patient load, it can potentially decrease the ability to restock supplies in a timely manner. The facilities have realized this system is not efficient as it requires staff to continuously scan the inventories to track changes. The facility leadership researched how similar size facilities were able to gain better inventory tracking systems, reduce stock outages, and reduce cost. A weight-based system will augment SCMS s effectiveness and timeliness to resupply inventory while decreasing the workload of supply personnel and mitigating risks to patients.

The purpose of this notice is to gain knowledge of potential qualified sources and their
business size classification (HUBZone, 8(a), small, small disadvantaged, small veteran
owned, or service-disabled veteran owned small business) relative to NAICS 311511
(Fluid Milk Manufacturing) and the Size Standard of 700 Employees. Consistent with
Public Law 109-461 VA's Veterans First Contracting Program , first priority would be
given to Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), Veteran
Owned Small Businesses (VOSB) and Small Business (SB) concerns, should there be
sufficient firms available to compete under a set aside if the requirement goes to
solicitation. If insufficient veteran owned and small business response is received to
establish the basis for setting this action aside for other than large business
participation, then the action will be advertised as full and open competition, in which
case, all interested parties responding shall be eligible to bid.
