Purchase Order 36C24723P0033

This federal contract award, valued at $585,560.00, was issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to RAS Enterprises LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and SBA-certified Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) firm. The contract is for the supply of compressed medical gases, including oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and nitrogen, as well as related cylinder rental services to support the Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center in Augusta, Georgia.

The original solicitation, which was set aside for SDVOSB firms, was a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items under NAICS code 325120 (Industrial Gas Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. The contract has a base year starting on October 1, 2022, with four additional one-year option periods, for a total potential period of performance through September 30, 2027.

In addition to this specific contract award, RAS Enterprises LLC holds several significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) and Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) with the VA and other federal agencies, such as the Defense Health Agency and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, for the provision of medical gases and related services. These IDVs and BPAs demonstrate RAS Enterprises' ability to serve as a critical supplier of essential respiratory therapy and analgesic gases to federal healthcare facilities, particularly in support of the VA's Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and its Veterans Integrated Service Networks (VISNs).
