About this opportunity
The Minneapolis and St. Cloud VA Health Care Systems intend to award a sole-source contract to Praxair Distribution of Roseville, Minnesota to provide liquid bulk oxygen deliveries to their medical centers from October 2021 through March 2022. The goods are required to ensure an uninterrupted oxygen supply and meet medical needs. Comments on the sole-source determination are due by September 13, 2021 and should be directed to the contracting officer, Melanie Stockman.
There is no set-aside designation. The NAICS code is 325120 for chemical gases with a size standard of 1,000 employees. As the incumbent contractor, only Praxair owns the bulk liquid oxygen tanks at both locations and is qualified to provide the refills over the six-month period. The justification cites regulatory requirements that make Praxair the only viable source. The agency will transition to a new five-year competitive contract beginning April 2022 to be awarded under a different solicitation.
