6515-- 90-Day Bridge VISN-7Artificial Limb Contract RPO-E NCO-7

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 7, plans to award a three-month bridge contract for prosthetic and artificial limb services to Limbcare located in Albany, Georgia. This sole source firm-fixed price contract will cover the period from December 1, 2021, through February 28, 2022, under NAICS code 339113, with a business size standard of 750 employees. The award is intended to maintain uninterrupted service while the Government prepares for a future competitive solicitation, clearly stating this notice is not a request for competitive proposals. However, responses received by November 18, 2021, will be considered for future procurements, although the Government has full discretion whether to compete the contract based on those responses. Communication regarding the contract should be directed exclusively via email to Joseph E. Horn, the designated Contract Specialist, with telephone inquiries expressly not accepted. The contract serves as a short-term bridge to ensure continuity of prosthetic limb services at the VA Southeast Network, supporting veterans' healthcare needs until a competitive contract is established. The contracting office is located in Augusta, Georgia, and this bridge contract supports operations coordinated through the VA Network Contracting Office 7.
