6515--illuvia sense rfid cartridge

The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 6 is seeking to award a firm-fixed-price requirements contract to Aerobiotix to supply 4,500 Illuvia Sense RFID cartridges annually. The cartridges are needed for continuous use in 16 Illuvia Sense air decontamination systems across three VA medical centers to reduce airborne bacteria. Quotes are due by March 18, 2024 and shall include the pricing schedule in Section B as well as representations and certifications. The contract would have a base period of performance from March 16, 2024 through March 15, 2025 and include four one-year options.

There is no set-aside designated for this procurement. The anticipated annual expenditure is $150,000 and the estimated total contract value including options is $750,000. The cartridges are to be provided in quantities of 4,500 annually through the potential five-year period from March 2024 to March 2029 to the Salisbury VA Medical Center. As the Illuvia Sense systems can only function with Aerobiotix's proprietary cartridges, the brand name justification establishes Aerobiotix as the incumbent and only acceptable contractor for this requirements contract.
