About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration is seeking sources for a comprehensive battery supply contract, specifically targeting batteries for hearing aids and associated medical devices. The contract will be an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) fixed-price arrangement covering approximately 25 different battery types, including alkaline, lithium, nickel metal hydride, silver oxide, and zinc-air batteries in various sizes and configurations. Interested vendors are required to submit a standardized PDF response of five pages or less, detailing their company capabilities, battery offerings, manufacturing/distribution capacities, and packaging specifications. Responses must be emailed to Contract Specialist John Overstake and Contracting Officer Dustin Dallis by December 17, 2024, at 12:00 PM EST. The VA will use these responses to determine the most appropriate acquisition strategy, potentially including set-asides for small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs), and veteran-owned small businesses (VOSBs).
The solicitation does not currently have a specific set-aside designation, indicating potential open competition. The contract is structured with a one-year base period and four potential one-year option periods, providing a potential total contract duration of five years. Batteries must meet ANSI/NEDA standards and maintain consistent brand specifications throughout the contract period, with any brand changes requiring explicit contracting officer approval. Packaging requirements are detailed for each contract line item (CLIN), with most requiring standard commercial, intermediate, and master shipping packaging quantities. Certain button cell batteries must also comply with federal packaging guidelines under Reese's Law (P.L. 117-171). While specific award values are not disclosed, the VA's detailed quantity estimates suggest a significant procurement volume designed to ensure nationwide supply and leverage economies of scale for veterans' medical device battery needs.
