This federal contract IDV award is for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) National Hearing Aid Contract, a $318 million, 5-year Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract awarded to WS Audiology USA, Inc., a for-profit manufacturer and distributor of hearing aids, wireless accessories, replacement parts, and related audiology products and services. The IDIQ vehicle allows VA audiologists to order hearing aids, wireless accessories, and related services through an online procurement system to support the VA's broader hearing health program for veterans.
The VA has issued numerous firm-fixed-price delivery orders against this IDIQ, typically for monthly data reporting, direct equipment shipments, and accessory orders to VA facilities across the Veterans Integrated Service Network 19, which covers the Rocky Mountain region. WS Audiology USA has also held a separate $35 million IDIQ bridge contract with the VA for hearing aid repairs and accessories. In addition, the company has fulfilled smaller delivery orders for the Indian Health Service to provide hearing aids and services to Native American communities. These contract awards to WS Audiology USA have consistently been made without any set-aside designations, reflecting the company's status as a large, established provider in the federal audiology market.
