6835--VISN 2 Prosthetics Downstate Home Oxygen Services

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 (VISN 2) is seeking a contractor to provide home oxygen services to VA beneficiaries throughout the Downstate New York region under solicitation number 36C24226R0081. The primary requirement is that the contractor deliver home oxygen services in accordance with specified standards and terms, with services distributed across multiple locations within VISN 2. A critical qualification is that the contractor must maintain accreditation through either the Joint Commission or a nationally recognized accreditation organization that meets or exceeds Joint Commission standards throughout the entire contract term. While the pre-solicitation notice does not explicitly detail the specific evaluation criteria, the emphasis on Joint Commission accreditation indicates that compliance with this standard will be a key determinant in contractor selection. Interested parties must submit responses by March 20, 2026 at 12:00 PM Eastern Time to the contracting office at Samuel S. Stratton VA Medical Center in Albany, New York, with Contract Specialist Corey Swinton serving as the primary point of contact.

This procurement carries no set-aside designations, meaning all eligible contractors may compete for the contract award. The pre-solicitation notice does not identify any current contractors or incumbents, nor does it disclose the anticipated contract value or budget range for this requirement. The notice provides limited information regarding specific quantities of oxygen services or the exact service delivery timeline, though the contract is expected to span multiple years given standard federal contracting practices. The product/service code is 6835 (Medical Gases), and the relevant NAICS code is 325120 (Industrial Gas Manufacturing). This pre-solicitation notice will remain archived for 99 days following the March 20, 2026 response deadline, and there is no Recovery Act funding associated with this opportunity.
