The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 17, is seeking to procure oxygen equipment and respiratory care devices, specifically Astral Ventilators, BiWaze Cough Assist Systems, and Oxilife Liberty 2 units. This pre-solicitation notice indicates that the government intends to issue a formal solicitation for medical and surgical supplies classified under NAICS code 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) and PSC code 6515. The procurement is scheduled for a need date of October 30, 2026, allowing for adequate planning and delivery timelines. The opportunity was posted on November 24, 2025, with an initial deadline for questions and responses due on January 9, 2026. Interested contractors should review the posted government files (36C25726Q0136_1.docx and 36C25726Q0136_2.docx) to understand the specific requirements, evaluation criteria, and technical specifications that will govern the competitive process.

This contract opportunity is restricted to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), limiting competition to qualified firms meeting this set-aside designation. The pre-solicitation notice does not explicitly identify current contractors or incumbents for these product lines, though the specific equipment models mentioned (Astral, BiWaze, and Oxilife Liberty) suggest the government has experience with these manufacturers. No award value or budget range is disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice at this stage, which is typical for initial government announcements. The formal solicitation process will provide additional details regarding estimated quantities, pricing expectations, and contract duration once it is released. Vendors interested in pursuing this opportunity should monitor updates from Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 and prepare documentation demonstrating their SDVOSB status and capability to supply the specified medical equipment.
