About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to pursue a sole source procurement for Durable Medical Equipment (DME) Services for the Prosthetics Departments within the VISN 10 region covering Indiana and Michigan. The VA requires a 6-month Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with First Community Care, LLC (FCC), a Small Business, to provide the necessary DME services.
The purpose of this notice is to communicate the VA's plan to award this non-competitive procurement to FCC, as the only contractor that meets the suitability criteria outlined in the Statement of Work. The VA justifies this sole source award under FAR 13.106-1(b)(2) for having one responsible source. Switching providers would disrupt critical DME services to veterans, so the VA intends to procure these services from FCC. This is not a request for technical or cost proposals, but the VA will consider any responses to determine if a competitive procurement should be conducted in the future. The places of performance include various VA medical centers and clinics across Indiana and Michigan.

The purpose of this notification is to communicate the Governments intent to solicit and award a non-competitive procurement for DME Services for the Prosthetics Departments within VISN 10.

VISN 10 IN & MI has a requirement to establish a contract with FCC, a Small Business (SB), for a base period of six (6) months. DME Services are critical to each medical center s timely service in delivering patient care.

Therefore, the Government intends to procure these services on a sole source basis from FCC.
