Demand History - VISN 20 OFL Lenses.xlsx

The file is a demand history spreadsheet for optical lenses used by VA VISN 20 Optical Fabrication Lab, providing a comprehensive 5-year forecast of lens usage by material type and lens category. The data covers fiscal years 2025-2029, with detailed breakdowns for single vision (SV), bifocal, trifocal, and progressive addition lenses (PAL) across multiple lens materials including CR-39, Poly, Crown Glass, and Trivex, with various refractive indices.

The historical demand data shows consistent annual requirements, with total estimated lens demand ranging from approximately 30,000 to 82,600 lenses per year across different fiscal years. The spreadsheet aligns with the related federal contract opportunity (Solicitation 36C26025Q0268), which seeks to establish a multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for lens manufacturers to supply ophthalmic lenses for veterans' eyeglasses through the Veterans Health Administration's VISN 20 Optical Fabrication Lab. The VA intends to award two or more BPAs to lens manufacturer suppliers, with the demand history providing critical procurement planning data.
