This is a firm fixed-price purchase order contract awarded by the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, a component of the Department of the Navy, to Vyaire Medical 211, Inc. Respiratory Technologies Division for $91,027.20 to provide service and maintenance on four neonatal ventilators at the Naval Medical Center San Diego. The contract was not set aside for any specific business size or socioeconomic category.
The original sole-source solicitation was issued due to the proprietary nature of the equipment, which only Vyaire Medical (formerly CareFusion 211) can service and maintain. As a manufacturer of respiratory care equipment and devices, Vyaire Medical has provided various products and services to federal healthcare agencies like the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense under the GSA Medical Equipment and Supplies schedule. This contract supports the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory conditions for military personnel and families treated at the Naval Medical Center.
