WatchPAT One Direct Program

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration (VA) is seeking to procure WatchPAT One Direct devices, which are home sleep apnea testing systems, through a brand name only solicitation for the VA San Francisco Health Care System. The Request for Quote (RFQ) 36C26125Q0296 is specifically targeting medical electromedical equipment under NAICS code 334510 with a size standard of 1,250 employees. Potential vendors must submit their quotes electronically to Shanel.Pagaragan@va.gov and David.Alvarez4@va.gov by 04-10-2025 at 10:00 AM HST, with a requirement to complete Section B.2 (Price Schedule) and indicate delivery timeframes. While specific detailed evaluation criteria are not explicitly outlined, the solicitation emphasizes compliance with brand specifications and submission requirements. The original submission deadline was subsequently amended to May 27, 2025, at 10:00 AM PDT, with vendors instructed to either resubmit their entire quote or confirm the validity of their original submission.

The solicitation is exclusively set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) firms, with market research identifying three authorized distributors: Veterans Healthcare Supply Solutions, Panakeia, and Lumbee Group. The contract includes a base period from 4/30/2025 to 4/29/2026 with four optional one-year extension periods potentially extending through 4/29/2030. The total procurement quantity is 1,400 units, priced at $1,400 per unit, representing a potential total contract value of approximately $1.96 million. Devices will be shipped to the VA San Francisco Health Care System, specifically marked for Konstantin Nodaros, with delivery spread across the base and option years. The procurement requires a Buy American Act waiver as the WatchPAT One Direct devices are produced in Israel, and the solicitation includes a class waiver of the SBA non-manufacturer rule for the specified NAICS code.
