The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) awarded a $15,230.44 firm fixed-price delivery order contract to Prentke Romich Company, doing business as Prc-Saltillo, for the supply of communication devices. The contract, with a period of performance through November 14, 2024, was awarded on August 14, 2022 without a set-aside designation.
Prentke Romich Company is a manufacturer of assistive technology devices specializing in augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems. The company holds a Federal Supply Schedule contract (ID 47QTCA22D00CH) with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), allowing federal agencies to access its range of AAC devices and accessories. This specific delivery order is likely for the provision of Accent or NovaChat communication systems, potentially with eye-tracking capabilities, to support veterans' healthcare programs under the VA's Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 10.
In addition to federal contract awards, Prentke Romich Company has also received a significant grant from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders to develop compatibility between brain-computer interfaces and its AAC systems, further expanding communication options for individuals with severe physical impairments.
