MULTIPLE AWARDS: Since experience has demonstrated that one contractor cannot provide a guarantee to meet our needs, it is our intention to make multiple awards with a possible restriction on the number of awards made.

In some instances, it is possible that a contractor's shipment services may not be utilized at all. With all things being equal, the VA will order medical supplies, on an as needed basis. The Government shall make a reasonable effort to rotate contractors. Performance and availability will be critical factors in obtaining orders.
