How to bid on ScriptPro Expansion Upgrades for VISN 23 VAHCS, Department of Veterans Affairs

Veterans Affairs, Department of Eagan, MNCloses August 13, 2026

What the VA is buying and why it matters

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 23, is seeking ScriptPro equipment and system upgrades for its VISN 23 medical facilities. The agency intends to award a sole-source contract to ScriptPro USA Inc. because the equipment and upgrades are proprietary.

This is an opportunity for other businesses to demonstrate their capability to provide these services. If the VA determines that other responsible sources can meet the requirements, it may decide to conduct a competitive procurement instead of a sole-source award.

Key dates and what happens at the deadline

This Request for Information (RFI) was published on July 30, 2026. Capability statements must be submitted by August 12, 2026, at 10:00 AM Central Time. The official notice states a deadline of August 13, 2026, at 11:00 AM ET, but for capability statements, the earlier date and time of August 12, 2026, at 10:00 AM Central Time should be followed.

After the deadline, the agency will review the submitted capability statements to determine if there are other responsible sources capable of providing the required services. This notice is not a request for quotations, and a solicitation will not be issued based on this RFI.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity is suitable for businesses that can provide ScriptPro equipment and system upgrades, or equivalent services, for medical facilities. The primary NAICS code is 541512, Computer Systems Design Services, with a size standard of $34 Million. The PSC is J065.

Firms with expertise in proprietary medical equipment systems, particularly those related to pharmacy automation or similar healthcare technology, would find this relevant. The agency is specifically looking for clear and unambiguous evidence of capability to provide the required services.

How to respond

To respond, you must email your capability statement and supporting documentation to Marie Weathers, Contract Officer, at [email protected]. Ensure the subject line of your email indicates "Response to ScriptPro Expansion Upgrades."

Do not make phone calls, as oral communications are not acceptable. The government is not obligated to acknowledge receipt or provide feedback on submitted information.

Tips for preparing a competitive response

When preparing your capability statement, focus on providing clear and unambiguous evidence that substantiates your firm's ability to provide the required services. Since the agency intends a sole-source award due to proprietary equipment, your statement should directly address how your firm can meet these specific needs, potentially offering an alternative or equivalent solution.

Highlight your experience with similar projects, especially those involving complex system upgrades or proprietary technology in a healthcare setting. Include details about your technical expertise, relevant certifications, and past performance that demonstrates your capacity to deliver the specified equipment and services. Ensure your statement is concise, well-organized, and directly addresses the agency's stated requirements.
