The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 is procuring portable sleep apnea testing services through home sleep testing devices for veterans. The solicitation specifically requires Type IV home sleep testing devices utilizing Peripheral Arterial Tone (PAT) signal technology with minimum 4-channel monitoring capabilities, preferably designed to minimize patient hardware attachment to increase study success rates. Acceptable devices include WatchPAT One, Compumedics Somfit, and Night Owl, with results processed through Somnoware and reviewed by VA physicians. The contractor must provide 24/7 customer support, ship devices directly to patients, and ensure compatibility with VA electronic health records systems. Vendors must submit comprehensive proposals including technical, price, experience, and administrative documentation volumes by the deadline of June 30, 2025, at 1:00 PM MST via email to the contract specialist Felicia Simpson.

This solicitation does not utilize any set-aside designation and is open to all eligible contractors. The contract structure includes a base year running from July 1, 2025, to September 30, 2025, followed by four optional subsequent years, with an estimated annual requirement of 3,000 home sleep testing devices. The contract aims to increase access to sleep disorder diagnostics for veterans, particularly those in rural areas or veterans unable to complete traditional in-lab sleep studies. Performance will be centered at the Phoenix VA Health Care System, with devices shipped to the Cart T. Hayden Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona. The solicitation emphasizes the need for disposable or reusable testing devices that can be shipped directly to veterans' homes, with results uploaded to a secure portal for VA physician review and integration into the veterans' electronic health records.
