The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration (VHA) awarded an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, valued at up to $200 million, to Baxter Healthcare Corporation (doing business as Baxter Health Systems) to provide dialysis services and equipment. The IDIQ, called the VHA Equipment Life Cycle Management (ELCM) Program, allows the VA to issue firm fixed-price delivery orders for dialysis systems, maintenance, and supplies to support VA medical centers and other federal healthcare programs nationwide.
Baxter, as the prime contractor, has delivered a range of dialysis products under this IDIQ, including home dialysis equipment and consumables, peritoneal dialysis systems, hemodialysis devices, and dialysis water purification equipment. Task orders have been awarded by various VA Integrated Service Networks, with performance locations spanning from Connecticut to California. The contract is not set aside for small businesses. This IDIQ contract vehicle enables the VA to efficiently acquire critical dialysis technology and services to provide comprehensive care for veterans with kidney disease or failure.
