Medical Gas and Cylinder Rental

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 7 is procuring medical gas and cylinder rental services for the Atlanta Veterans Affairs Medical Center and surrounding facilities. The solicitation seeks a firm fixed-price contract covering medical gas supplies and cylinder rental services for approximately 20-25 VA facilities across the Atlanta metropolitan area, including medical centers, community-based outpatient clinics, and vet centers in locations such as Decatur, Marietta, Lawrenceville, and Rome, Georgia. Vendors must demonstrate capability to deliver medical gases and cylinders to all listed facilities within 24-48 hours of receiving a request. The evaluation will be based solely on price as the determining factor. The solicitation has experienced multiple amendments, with the current response deadline set for July 31, 2025, at 12:00 PM CST, and questions were due by July 30, 2025, at 12:00 PM CST.

This procurement is designated as a total set-aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) under NAICS code 325120 for Industrial Gas Manufacturing. No incumbent contractors or specific award values are mentioned in the available documentation. The contract structure includes a base performance period from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026, with two additional option periods that could extend the contract through September 30, 2028, providing up to three years of potential service coverage. The primary place of performance is the Atlanta VA Medical Center located at 1670 Clairmont Road, Decatur, GA 30033, though services must be provided across multiple counties in the Atlanta area. Participating SDVOSB vendors must be certified in the SBA certification database and comply with subcontracting limitations that prohibit paying more than 50% of contract value to non-SDVOSB firms for services. The contracting agency has noted a lack of competition or participation as the reason for accelerating the original August 7, 2025 deadline to July 31, 2025.
