Steris Corporation was awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) on March 7, 2018, for annual maintenance services on a STERIS steam sterilizer at a VA facility in Columbia, Missouri. The contract, valued at $6,821.72, represents routine preventive and corrective maintenance support for critical sterilization equipment used in VA healthcare operations. The award utilized open federal procurement procedures with no set-aside designation, allowing Steris to compete directly for the work based on its qualifications as an Original Equipment Manufacturer authorized provider.
This maintenance agreement aligns with Steris Corporation's broader role supporting the VA's medical equipment infrastructure, particularly within the VISN 23 Midwest Healthcare Network. The company holds a significant Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract with VA Veterans Health Administration valued at $6.3 million over four years to provide comprehensive maintenance and support services across multiple VA medical centers. Through such contracts, Steris delivers essential sterilization equipment support services necessary for maintaining infection prevention and procedural capabilities across the VA's healthcare system. The contract was scheduled for completion on February 28, 2019.
