Bulk Oxygen and Tank Rentals

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 7 is soliciting quotations for bulk oxygen and tank rental services to supply medical-grade liquid oxygen and maintain tank systems for four VA medical centers located in Georgia and Alabama. The contract requires the contractor to provide contractor-owned tanks with backup systems, telemetry monitoring, preventative maintenance, and emergency delivery capabilities in compliance with FDA regulations. Key contract requirements include a firm-fixed price structure with a base year and four 1-year option periods running from March 1, 2026, to February 28, 2031, and estimated monthly liquid oxygen needs ranging from 10,882 to 76,601 centum cubic feet across the four facilities. The solicitation will be evaluated on two factors, with experience demonstrating prior bulk oxygen and tank rental contract performance weighted more heavily than price. Prospective offerors must conduct mandatory site visits at each facility between December 1-4, 2025, submit electronic quotes in PDF format with a 150-day price hold period, and the current proposal deadline is December 19, 2025, at 11:00 AM EST, with responses to vendor questions due approximately December 5, 2025.

This solicitation is exclusively set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), and no incumbent contractor information is provided in the available documentation. For supply contracts under this set-aside, contractors cannot pay more than 50% of the government contract amount to non-certified subcontractors. The procurement covers four facilities: Joseph Maxwell Cleland Atlanta VA Medical Center, Birmingham VA Medical Center, Central Alabama VA Medical Center-Tuskegee, and Central Alabama VA Medical Center-Montgomery, all located in Georgia and Alabama with primary performance in the Decatur, Georgia area. While specific award values are not disclosed in the solicitation materials, the contract encompasses a five-year period with significant monthly oxygen supply requirements and includes tank rental and telemetry monitoring services. All quoters must be certified SDVOSBs at the time of award, and non-certified firms will have their quotes rejected regardless of price or proposed performance.
