The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has awarded a $7.58 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to O R Elder Inc., a veteran-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned small business, to provide Alcon brand name or equal phacoemulsification units and related equipment to VA medical centers nationwide over a five-year period. This IDC was the result of a VA-wide solicitation for phacoemulsification units, which are used to break up and remove cataractous lenses of the eye.
The contract requires the vendor to meet specific salient characteristics, such as responsive fluidics, ultrasound pulse rate range, irrigation/aspiration system capabilities, and a minimum one-year warranty. The contract includes a base period of 12 months with four 12-month option periods. O R Elder Inc. is an established supplier of advanced medical devices, equipment, and technology solutions to federal agencies, particularly the VA and Department of Defense, and holds several other significant IDVs to provide ophthalmic and surgical equipment, laser systems, and wireless communications devices to support veteran healthcare and military medical readiness initiatives.
