6515--ResMed Astral Ventilators & Accessories

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its Network Contracting Office 4, intends to procure Astral Ventilators and Accessories under the sole brand name ResMed, specifically the Astral 150 model and associated components. This acquisition is designated as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside and will support the Lebanon VA Medical Center in Lebanon, Pennsylvania. The procurement is justified under FAR 8.405-6 due to the unique compatibility of the ResMed Astral ventilator with the proprietary AirView remote monitoring platform, which is essential for seamless integration into the VA’s clinical workflows and remote patient monitoring capabilities. This ensures continuity and enhances care delivery in home and mobile environments for veterans requiring respiratory support. The full solicitation, numbered 36C24426Q0080, is scheduled to be posted on GSA eBuy around November 12, 2025, with the contract award expected by mid-December 2025. Interested offerors must monitor the GSA eBuy portal for solicitation details, amendments, and submission requirements, and must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to award eligibility. Communication is restricted to written inquiries directed exclusively to the contract specialist Joanne Skaff; telephone inquiries are not permitted. The procurement will be conducted via a call against a GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract held by FIRST NATION GROUP LLC, the incumbent vendor, emphasizing an expedited acquisition process. Key deliverables include two ResMed Astral 150 ventilators, external batteries, rolling stands, mobility bags, and smooth bore circuits, reflecting performance requirements focused on portability, clinical integration, and remote monitoring. Pricing details, evaluation factors, and full contractual terms will be available only with the full solicitation release. The government expressly reserves the right not to award and is not liable for proposal preparation costs.
