This document is a Justification for Limiting Sources (LSJ) for a micro-purchase threshold acquisition. It details the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Salt Lake City Health Care System's (SLCHCS) request for AudioCARE SMS Software licenses. These licenses enable automated telephone and text messaging for prescription refills, ad-hoc communications, patient surveys, wellness messages, and drug recall notifications. The software includes Audio PREFILL, TM PREFILL, and TM COMMUNICATOR, along with an ACS-TM-BASE license for 120,000 texts per year.

This document indicates a sole-source acquisition for AudioCARE software. The VA has integrated AudioCARE System Applications and considers Payton Merger Sub II, LLC (dba AudioCARE) the sole provider of the required proprietary software licenses. A TRM search did not yield other suitable solutions. The acquisition is intended to continue an enhancement to the current system, requiring interoperability with existing AudioCARE software. The estimated period of performance is five years (base year plus four option years), starting 5/20/2026.
