Vantive US Healthcare LLC will be awarded a fixed-price purchase order (No. 0012276307) valued at $65,736.50 for two Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) machines with specific configurations: 2 each of PrisMax V3 System, TherMax, and PrisMax V2 Warmer Arm Kit. The procurement is for Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center and is specifically for medical devices used in intensive care units to remove waste, toxins, and excess fluid from patients' blood when kidneys are not functioning properly.

The procurement is being conducted as a sole source action under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) because Vantive US Healthcare LLC is the exclusive distributor and service provider for Baxter's PrisMax CRRT machines. Market research conducted from 1-9 May 2025 confirmed no anticipated competition due to the proprietary nature of the technology. The contract has a completion date of 30 September 2025, and the funding source is Operations & Maintenance, Army (OMA) for Fiscal Year 25. The justification emphasizes the critical medical care impact for soldiers and their families by ensuring access to these specialized medical devices.
