N065--Prosthetics Downstate DME Services Bridge Contract

The Department of Veterans Affairs is awarding a sole source bridge contract titled "Prosthetics Downstate DME Services Bridge Contract" (solicitation number 36C24226Q0156) to Warrior Service Company LLC, a certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB). This contract covers the delivery and setup of durable medical equipment (DME) for veteran patients across several regions including the Hudson Valley, Bronx, New Jersey, New York Harbor, and Northport areas. It is structured as a firm fixed price Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a performance period starting December 14, 2025, through June 15, 2027, with an optional six-month extension. The estimated contract value is approximately $3.25 million. This award is justified under statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition to maintain uninterrupted DME services, as the previous contract with Warrior Service Company LLC is set to expire on December 14, 2025. The contract is intended as a bridge to ensure continuous delivery of essential prosthetics and DME services until a new long-term contract is finalized. The contracting office is located in Albany, NY, under the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contract Office 02, with Corey Swinton serving as the Contracting Officer and primary point of contact. The careful market research and evaluation of the contractor's qualifications support the sole source award, emphasizing the strategic importance of supporting veteran-owned businesses while ensuring seamless care delivery.
