The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) awarded a firm-fixed-price purchase order contract to Melling LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business, for the acquisition of OPTOS 200DTX ultra-wide field retina imaging devices. This $231,289.92 contract was set aside for small businesses and supports the VA's Veterans Integrated Service Network 8, which provides healthcare services to veterans.
Melling LLC, through its Melling Medical division, specializes in providing medical equipment and supplies to federal healthcare programs, including the VA, Indian Health Service, and Department of Defense. As the prime contractor, Melling will deliver the ophthalmic imaging devices to VA facilities in Alexandria, Virginia. This award is part of Melling Medical's broader contract vehicles with the VA, such as a $40 million Federal Supply Schedule contract and a $1 million blanket purchase agreement, which enable the VA to acquire specialized medical devices and supplies to serve veterans.
