Blanket Purchase Agreement GS07F5559R-36C24221A0001

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration awarded a blanket purchase agreement to Verizon Connect NWF Inc., doing business as Verizon Networkfleet, to provide global positioning system telematics services across multiple locations. The contracting vehicle is the General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule, with four firm fixed price call orders issued totaling $566,520.48 to support operations within Veterans Integrated Service Network 2. Performance periods under the calls issued on October 1st of 2020, 2022, 2023 and 2024 are to be completed in San Diego, California and Syracuse, New York by September 30th of the outlying years. As no set-aside designation was applied, this represents an open market procurement leveraging an existing schedule contract to facilitate acquisition of GPS tracking capabilities. These solutions can enhance the agency's delivery of healthcare services to veterans within the network by enabling improved management and coordination of medical facilities. Verizon Communications Inc. serves as the ultimate parent company for the prime contractor.

The blanket purchase agreement and associated call orders aim to procure global positioning system telematics services from the prime contractor. These capabilities support fleet management and logistics functions integral to the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration's operations within Veterans Integrated Service Network 2. Leveraging an existing General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule vehicle streamlines procurement and allows the network to obtain needed tracking technologies in a timely manner across its facilities.
