Purchase Order 36C24224P0401

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 awarded a $289,551 firm fixed-price purchase order to H.O. Penn Machinery Company, Inc. for generator and equipment maintenance and storage services supporting the James J. Peters VA Medical Center in Bronx, New York. The contract, awarded on December 21, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of December 20, 2025, was procured through a sole-source Special Notice posted on November 3, 2023. H.O. Penn will provide maintenance and storage for fourteen government-owned items, including two diesel generators requiring periodic maintenance by a Caterpillar-certified technician, at a facility within 50 miles of the medical center. Services include offloading and onloading equipment as needed, preventive maintenance and testing, parts procurement, equipment installation and startup, and long-term equipment storage and support.

This award represents a continuation of H.O. Penn Machinery Company's established relationship with VA facilities. The contractor, a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Poughkeepsie, New York, and a Caterpillar equipment dealer with over 90 years of operational history, was identified as the intended source due to its authorization and warranty coverage capabilities for the diesel generators. The procurement includes no set-aside designation and was awarded through a full and open competition or sole-source determination based on H.O. Penn's specialized capability as an authorized Caterpillar retailer. The company maintains active federal contracting capabilities with registration in SAM.gov scheduled to expire in May 2026.
