The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 (VHA VISN 21) has issued a Special Notice announcing a proposed contract action for Power Wheelchairs. The notice, published on January 14, 2025, outlines a sole-source procurement exceeding $25,000 under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 339113 for Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing. In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 5.101 and 13.106, the agency intends to award the contract to a single responsible source. The procurement will be conducted through the VHA's Network Contracting Office 21, located in McClellan Park, California. This special notice serves to inform the public about the upcoming contract action while emphasizing that it is not a request for competitive quotes.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to formally communicate the VA's intent to procure Power Wheelchairs through a non-competitive acquisition process. The solicitation (number 36C26125AP1392) sets a response deadline of January 27, 2025, at 11:00 AM Pacific Time, with the notice set to archive four days after the response date.

The contract will focus on medical equipment specifically in the Product Service Code (PSC) 6515 category for Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies. Potential contractors interested in understanding more about the procurement are advised to contact the designated point of contact at the VHA Network Contracting Office 21 for additional information about the specific requirements and scope of the power wheelchair procurement.
