6515--Notice of Intent - Home Oxygen Services - Wyoming (Sheridan) Interim Contract

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 (VISN 19) has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to sole-source a Firm Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract for Home Oxygen Services in Wyoming, specifically serving the Sheridan area. The notice was posted on December 9, 2025, and represents an interim contracting arrangement designed to provide uninterrupted home oxygen services to veteran beneficiaries. The contract falls under NAICS code 532283 (Home Health Equipment Rental) with a $41 million size standard, and interested parties must respond by December 23, 2025, at 10:00 AM Mountain Time. This interim contract will serve as a bridge solution while the VA addresses potential protests and completes its longer-term procurement process for home oxygen services.

The primary objective of this interim contract is to ensure continuity of home oxygen services for VISN 19 veteran beneficiaries during the period from April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2027, while allowing time to resolve any contract protest issues and finalize a permanent long-term contract arrangement. Although this is a sole-source award intended for Northwest Respiratory Services, the VA is accepting written responses from interested contractors who believe they can meet the requirements, and such responses must be submitted via email to the Contracting Officer, Charles Gritzmacher. All potential contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to submission and should provide supporting evidence demonstrating their capability to deliver home oxygen services. This Special Notice provides an opportunity for qualified firms in the home health equipment rental industry to present evidence of their qualifications, though the VA has already identified a primary contractor for the interim period.
