FEMS Emergency Oxygen

The District of Columbia's Fire and Emergency Medical Services (FEMS) is seeking to procure emergency oxygen supplies through a competitive bidding process. The procurement is focused on acquiring medical-grade oxygen equipment and related supplies to support the city's emergency medical response capabilities. Potential vendors must demonstrate expertise in medical oxygen systems, including portable and stationary oxygen delivery equipment suitable for emergency medical services. The solicitation requires comprehensive documentation of product specifications, quality certifications, and compliance with federal and district medical equipment standards. Interested vendors must submit detailed proposals by November 18, 2025, with all documentation demonstrating technical capabilities, product reliability, and ability to meet FEMS emergency response requirements. Evaluation criteria will likely include product quality, pricing, delivery capabilities, technical specifications, and vendor experience in emergency medical supply procurement.

The contract opportunity appears open to various business types, potentially with consideration for local or disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) participation. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed, the District of Columbia typically encourages minority-owned and local businesses to participate in government procurement opportunities. The procurement may involve integration with existing FEMS medical equipment infrastructure, requiring vendors to demonstrate compatibility with current emergency medical systems. Though the exact budget range is not specified, emergency medical oxygen contracts for municipal fire and emergency services typically range from $100,000 to $500,000 annually, depending on the scope and volume of required supplies. Vendors should be prepared to provide comprehensive documentation of manufacturing capabilities, product certifications, and ability to maintain consistent supply chains for critical medical oxygen equipment.
