This $557,602.80 firm fixed price purchase order was awarded by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically the Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 17, to Atos Medical Inc., a foreign-owned, for-profit medical device manufacturer. The contract is for the delivery of 7 line items of Provox-branded medical/surgical supplies, including heat and moisture exchangers and tracheostomy baseplate adhesives, to VA facilities in Lancaster, PA and Chelmsford, MA.
The award is not associated with a set-aside designation and appears to be an open competition award. Atos Medical Inc. is a key supplier of laryngectomy care products to the VA, having received multiple previous contract awards from various VISNs. The company holds two significant VA indefinite delivery vehicle (IDV) contracts - a $7.4 million ceiling IDV for artificial larynges and a $5 million IDV under the GSA Medical Equipment and Supplies Schedule. These IDVs facilitate rapid delivery orders to meet VA healthcare program needs nationwide.
