6515--501-26-2-119-0052/ABQ VA ventilators

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 is soliciting competitive bids for the procurement of twelve (12) ICU ventilators with associated components and accessories. The solicitation requires either Draeger EVITA V800 ventilators or products equal in capability, along with supplementary equipment including pressure support software modules, CO2 monitoring systems, trolleys, mounting hardware, and ancillary accessories. Key contract requirements mandate that all items be new and not refurbished, and offerors must provide clear evidence that any "equal to" products meet all salient characteristics, supported by an authorized distributor letter from the original equipment manufacturer dated within the last 90 days. Award will be made to the offeror meeting all minimum requirements at the lowest price under a firm fixed-price contract structure. Critical deadlines include April 10, 2026, at 4:00 PM PST for submission of questions, with the final proposal deadline extended to April 15, 2026, at 9:00 AM PDT per Amendment 0001.

This solicitation is designated as a 100 percent service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) set-aside. Amendment 0001 permits offerors to submit two separate bids, one for Draeger products and one for Corvent products, with both options to be evaluated. The solicitation does not specify a contract value or budget range. Delivery of all items is required to the VA New Mexico Healthcare System located at 1501 San Pedro SE, Albuquerque, NM 87108. The contract includes ancillary requirements for clinical support services (8 hours) and biomedical training courses (2 years from the sales date), establishing an extended service component beyond the initial equipment delivery.
