Opportunity Summary

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 21, intends to award a sole-source, fixed-price contract to Apria Healthcare, LLC, for home oxygen services. This requirement supports the VA San Francisco Healthcare System and includes the rental of medical equipment, such as oxygen tanks and related supplies, for veteran patients within the California service area. The government has identified Apria Healthcare, LLC, as the single source capable of fulfilling the requirement without causing unacceptable delays in patient care, as the current contract is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2023.

The procurement is classified under NAICS 532283 Home Health Equipment Rental and PSC 6515 Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies. The anticipated period of performance consists of a three-month base ordering period followed by one three-month option period, totaling six months of service.

Responses to this notice are due by May 23, 2023, at 12:00 PM Pacific Time. While this notice of intent is not a formal request for proposals, the government will consider technical capabilities and narratives from responsible sources that prove an ability to provide sufficient home oxygen supplies and services. Information received will be used to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement, though the final decision remains within the government's discretion. Joel Brown is the designated point of contact for this action.

DESCRIPTION

SPECIAL NOTICE FOR 36C26123Q0379
Description: NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Network Contracting Office (NCO) 21, intends to issue a Fixed Priced contract under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), Soliciting from a single source. Award is anticipated to occur on or before June 20, 2023 to Apria Healthcare, LLC. The period of performance will be for six months after issuance of the notice to proceed. This requirement includes rental medical equipment, such as oxygen tanks and related supplies for home services and will cover the VA San Francisco Healthcare System (VASFHCS), CA service area. NCO 21 intends to non-competitively award this requirement to Apria Healthcare, LLC., since time is of the essence as the current contract is set to expire on June 30, 2023. In accordance with FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)(B) one responsible source can be used to avoid unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency s requirements. As a result, any contractor other than Apria Healthcare, LLC., that would provide oxygen tanks rentals to the facility would unintentionally cause a delay in patient care. Unnecessary delays cannot be endured. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 532283 with the size standard of $41 Million. The applicable Product Service Code is 6515. This notice of intent is not a request for proposals or quotes. However, all responsible sources may submit an offer and technical capabilities/narrative that proves by clear and convincing evidence that a vendor is available that will provide sufficient home oxygen supplies and services. If said OFFER and technical capabilities/narrative is received within one calendar day of publication of this notice, the narrative will be considered by NCO 21. All responses must be submitted to the Government point of contact at the email address shown below. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will generally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
