The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration (VHA) awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Hill-Rom, Inc. for the rental of hospital beds and related medical equipment and supplies on behalf of the Bedford VA Medical Center. The BPA, valued at $51,123.75, was issued under Hill-Rom's Federal Supply Schedule contract for Medical Equipment and Supplies and has a period of performance through April 2026.
The VA initially planned to sole source this requirement to Hill-Rom based on their capability to provide the necessary rental beds and mattresses. However, the agency issued a Special Notice to allow other responsible sources to express interest in competing for the work. The agency intends to make a sole source award to Hill-Rom absent any acceptable alternatives submitted by the November 20, 2023 response deadline. This sole source justification cites the authority under FAR 8.405-6 to limit sources for the required medical equipment rental services.
