AI Contract Overview

The Department of Veterans Affairs' VISN 11 Network Contracting Office is planning to award a sole source contract to First Community Care, LLC, based in Midland, Michigan, to provide home oxygen services to Veterans at VISN 11 facilities in Battle Creek, MI, Saginaw, MI, and Danville, IL. This contract is necessary to maintain continuity of care as the existing Home Oxygen contract approaches expiration. First Community Care, LLC is the incumbent contractor and currently the only provider capable of meeting the agency’s requirements, justifying the sole source procurement under FAR 6.302-1. A new long-term contract, including a base period plus four option years, is in development but will not be ready before the current contract expires. This notice serves as an announcement of intent rather than a solicitation for competitive bids and emphasizes that responses must clearly demonstrate why competition would benefit the government. Stakeholders are invited to respond in writing by March 20, 2015, with no telephone inquiries accepted. The government retains sole discretion to determine whether to pursue a competitive procurement based on any responses received. This interim sole source contract aims to prevent service disruption until the new contract is finalized, with the understanding that the government will not compensate for any costs related to the information submitted in response to this notice.
