Bulk Oxygen Delivery and Equipment Rental

The Idaho Division of Veterans Services (IDVS) is seeking quotes for bulk oxygen delivery and medical oxygen equipment rental services for the Idaho State Veterans Home - Lewiston (ISVH-L), located in Ada County. The Request for Quotes (RFQ) solicits proposals for monthly rental and filling of size E and H oxygen tanks, as well as liquid bulk oxygen delivery to the facility's 1,500-gallon tank. Key deliverables include regular oxygen tank deliveries, cylinder swaps for the facility's high-pressure oxygen reserve manifold tanks, annual certifications of oxygen tanks and ports, and a telemetry system for monitoring oxygen levels. The contractor must have the capability to communicate with the facility's monitoring system and trigger automatic deliveries when oxygen levels are low. The RFQ requires vendors to provide a comprehensive price sheet with fully burdened unit costs for all services. Quotes are due by October 17, 2024, with the contract to be awarded to the responsive, responsible vendor submitting the lowest total cost. The initial contract term is one year, with options to renew for up to four additional one-year terms.

There are no specific set-aside designations mentioned in the solicitation documents. Potential vendors must provide certificates of liability insurance within five business days of contract award and carry specific levels of commercial general liability, automobile liability, and workers' compensation insurance, with the State of Idaho listed as an additional insured. While no incumbent vendor is explicitly named, the RFQ indicates estimated annual quantities for oxygen tank rentals and liquid oxygen delivery, suggesting an existing service arrangement. Vendors must comply with the State of Idaho's standard contract terms and conditions, which include provisions for subcontractor management, invoicing, and payment. The pricing structure allows for both fixed-price and time-and-materials arrangements, with invoices to be submitted by the 5th of each month. Although a specific budget range is not provided, the detailed price sheet in Exhibit A suggests the contract value will be determined by the actual quantities of oxygen tanks rented and liquid oxygen delivered during the contract period.
