Q521--FY23: In-Home Respiratory Services| Tampa

The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to negotiate a sole source, fixed-price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with R. Keith Enterprises Inc., doing business as The Respiratory Agency, located in Riverview, Florida. This action, identified under solicitation number 36C24823Q1166, is conducted under the authority of FAR 6.302.1-1, as the agency has determined that only one responsible source can satisfy the specific requirements. The proposed contract includes a base year followed by four one-year option periods to provide off-site in-home respiratory therapy services for Veteran beneficiaries serviced by the James A. Haley Veterans' Hospital (JAHVH) Spinal Cord Injury Unit.

The scope of work involves providing respiratory therapy services for both invasive and non-invasive ventilated patients, as well as other respiratory compromise patients requiring Lung Expansion and Airway Clearance therapy as ordered by a JAHVH provider. These specialized services fall under NAICS 621399, Offices of All Other Miscellaneous Health Practitioners, and PSC Q521, Medical- Pulmonary.

This special notice was published on July 5, 2023, by the Department of Veterans Affairs and includes one attachment titled 36C24823Q1166_1.docx. While the agency intends to proceed with a sole source award to The Respiratory Agency due to its status as the only vendor capable of providing these services in the local area, the contracting officer maintains the discretion to determine if a competitive procurement is warranted based on responses received. Peter Bedard is the designated point of contact for this requirement.
