6515--Oxygen Concentrators, Millennium 10 LPM with OPI

The Department of Veterans Affairs plans to enter into a sole source contract with First Nation Group, LLC dba Jordan Reses Supply to acquire 29 units of the M10605 Concentrator Oxygen, Millennium 10 LPM with OPI, each covered by a one-year manufacturer’s warranty. This sole source action is supported by a letter from the original equipment manufacturer, Philips, designating First Nation Group as the exclusive supplier of Philips Respironics Sleep and Respiratory Care products to the VA. The contract aims to prevent unauthorized resale of Philips products, as such actions could breach agreements and void product warranties. The procurement will proceed without a competitive solicitation under the authority of FAR 8.405-6(b), which covers items peculiar to one manufacturer. The NAICS code assigned to this contract is 334510, with a size standard of 1,250 employees, and the FSC code for the items is 6515. This notice does not constitute a solicitation but serves as an intention to award the contract solely to First Nation Group. Interested parties may contact the Contracting Officer, Chelsea Smith, via email for inquiries. The decision to open a competitive procurement remains at the sole discretion of the Contracting Officer. The contract’s administrative office is located within the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contract Office in Togus, Maine. This approach ensures the procurement of specialized respiratory equipment directly from an authorized and exclusive supplier, maintaining product integrity and warranty coverage for the VA.
