The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to award a sole-source contract to Linde Puerto Rico B.V. for the rental of medical-grade gases to support the Veterans Affairs Caribbean Healthcare System in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This procurement, identified under solicitation number 36C24824Q0992, is being conducted using simplified procedures for commercial items to satisfy requirements for the base year and four subsequent option years. The requirement is classified under PSC 6835: MEDICAL GASES and NAICS 325120: Industrial Gas Manufacturing.

Performance will take place at the healthcare facility located at 10 Casia Street in San Juan. The government is restricting competition for this requirement in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(2), as the agency believes the identified source is uniquely qualified to satisfy the government’s needs. The notice includes two attachments, including a Microsoft Word document and a signed PDF justification.

Interested vendors who believe they possess the technical capability to meet these requirements must submit a complete technical package to Contracting Officer Jessica Kiser by June 18, 2024, at 4:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. Documentation must provide clear and convincing evidence of the vendor's ability to provide the medical gases. While the agency will consider all responses received to determine sources for future procurements, this notice serves as the final announcement of the government's intent to award to a single source.
