Medical Air Compressors

The Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically the Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 16 (VHA VISN 16), has issued a Special Notice for a sole-source contract opportunity involving medical air compressors. The notice pertains to a planned non-competitive acquisition for annual preventative maintenance service at the VA Medical Center in Little Rock, Arkansas. The procurement is being pursued under FAR Subpart 5.2 for commercial items, with the intent to award directly to Venergy Group. The contract will be a Firm Fixed award, utilizing the statutory authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1. The procurement falls under NAICS code 622110, with a small business size standard of $47 million per year.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to replace a failed 40HP medical air compressor at John L. McClellan Memorial Veterans Hospital, ensuring continuous medical air supply for critical patient care areas. The opportunity is specifically set aside for a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) on a sole-source basis. Interested contractors must demonstrate clear and convincing evidence of their capability to provide the required services by the specified deadline of 2:00 PM CST on May 2, 2025. Contractors must communicate their interest and capabilities via email to Kevin Pollard at kevin.pollard2@va.gov. The project requires providing and installing a new Kobelco oil-free rotary screw medical air compressor, complete with specific components and compliance with various national standards. The vendor must deliver the equipment within 45 days of award, with installation, testing, and training components included in the scope of work. While responses will be considered, the final determination to compete or not compete remains solely at the government's discretion.
