The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration, specifically the Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 (VISN 21) Network Contracting Office, has issued a Special Notice announcing a proposed contract action for power wheelchairs. The notice, posted on December 3, 2024, is being made in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 5.101 to inform the public about a contract exceeding $25,000. The procurement will be classified under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 339113 for Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing. This special notice indicates the VA intends to award the contract to only one responsible source using procedures prescribed in FAR 13.106. The notice explicitly states that it is not a request for competitive quotes.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to provide advance notification of a sole-source contract for power wheelchairs, with responses due by December 10, 2024, at 11:00 AM Pacific Time. Contractors should note that this is a non-competitive procurement, meaning only one vendor will be considered for the contract. The eligibility criteria are not extensively detailed in the notice, but the focus appears to be on a specific supplier of power wheelchairs who meets the VA's requirements. The contract will be managed by the Network Contracting Office located at McClellan Park, California, and falls under Product Service Code (PSC) 6515 for Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies. Potential vendors interested in understanding more about this opportunity are advised to contact the point of contact provided in the original notice for additional information about the procurement process and specific requirements.
