5999--Anesthesia Carts Service Agreement - Drager

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 6, through its Network Contracting Office 6, is soliciting offers for comprehensive maintenance and support services for Drager Anesthesia Cart equipment, specifically ATLAN A350 XL and FABIUS MRI models. The contract requires the contractor to provide preventive maintenance, emergency repairs, parts, labor, transportation, and expertise in compliance with manufacturer specifications and VA security protocols. Key service requirements include responding to service calls within one hour by telephone and completing on-site repairs within forty-eight hours during standard business hours (8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays). The evaluation will be conducted on a competitive basis, with award made to the responsible quoter whose quotation is most advantageous to the Government based on technical and price evaluation criteria. The original solicitation was posted on April 14, 2026, with an initial deadline of April 21, 2026; however, an amendment issued on April 30, 2026, extended the deadline to May 5, 2026, at 10:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time, and changed the competition from a Small Disadvantaged Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside to a full and open competition.

This is an unrestricted procurement with no set-aside designations, making it open to all eligible businesses. There is no incumbent recompete, as this represents a new maintenance services requirement for equipment nearing the end of its warranty period. The contract is valued at $34 million and will be performed at the Richmond VA Medical Center, with services to commence on May 1, 2026, and continue through April 30, 2027, with four optional one-year renewal periods extending through April 30, 2031. The contract will be awarded on a firm-fixed-price basis with NET 30 payment terms via electronic funds transfer, with monthly invoices submitted through the VA Financial Services Center Electronic Invoice Presentment and Payment System. Offerors must acknowledge receipt of the April 30 amendment prior to proposal submission or risk rejection of their offer.
