Purchase Order 36C24726P0283

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Veterans Integrated Service Network 7, awarded a $343,595.50 firm fixed-price purchase order to Advanced Sterilization Products Services Inc. (doing business as ASP) for STERRAD PM Services at the Birmingham, Alabama Veterans Healthcare System. This sole-source contract, which commenced on April 30, 2026, and extends through April 29, 2031, replaces a predecessor agreement and represents a continuation of preventative and corrective maintenance services for four STERRAD 100NX Sterilizer systems—low-temperature hydrogen peroxide gas plasma sterilization equipment critical to infection prevention and medical device reprocessing operations. The contract encompasses scheduled preventive maintenance, corrective maintenance, repairs, original equipment manufacturer parts supply, calibrations, telephone support, and access to ASP's proprietary software and training certifications.

ASP, headquartered in Irvine, California, is an established federal supplier specializing in medical device sterilization and high-level disinfection technologies, with the VA serving as its largest customer base across multiple Veterans Integrated Service Networks. The sole-source justification derives from ASP's proprietary authorization requirement that only ASP-trained and certified personnel may service STERRAD systems, limiting eligible service providers to ASP employees or OEM-trained third-party providers under contract with the manufacturer. This award was issued without a set-aside designation, reflecting ASP's competitive standing in the unrestricted federal healthcare marketplace and its integral role in sustaining the VA's sterilization and infection prevention infrastructure.
