Q301--WatchPat One Direct Sleep w/Service

The contract is a sole-source award to Veterans Healthcare Supply Solutions, Inc., a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), for the provision of WatchPAT One Direct Sleep w/Service to the Department of Veterans Affairs. The procurement is authorized under 38 U.S.C. § 8127 and VAAR 819.7007, leveraging statutory authority to set aside the requirement exclusively for SDVOSBs due to the unique and non-competitive nature of the offering. The awardee is the sole authorized SDVOSB distributor of the WatchPAT One device within the VA system, with exclusive rights granted by Itamar Medical, ensuring interoperability with VA’s electronic health record systems, CPRS and Somnoware. The contract has a firm-fixed price structure with a base period of one year beginning May 15, 2026, and includes one 12-month option period extending performance through May 14, 2028, with a total potential value capped at $438,000 for the base period, subject to possible extension under FAR 52.217-8, which permits the government to extend services by up to six months without renegotiation. Delivery is direct to patient homes across VA Medical Facilities, with the device being single-use and discarded after completion of the sleep study, eliminating return logistics. Inspection and acceptance occur at the patient’s residence, with the contractor responsible for device delivery, patient setup support, secure wireless data transmission, and clinical integration. The contract includes a Justification and Approval document validating the sole-source determination, with reporting obligations triggered by SDVOSB certification and mandatory public disclosure on Sam.gov. Packaging, preservation, and marking requirements are minimal and aligned with commercial healthcare practices, with no military standards applied. The contracting office is located in San Antonio, Texas, with Matt Lee as the primary point of contact, and payment is directed to the awardee’s address in Jacksonville, Florida. No competitive evaluation factors, key personnel requirements, security clearances, or detailed line-item pricing are specified, as the award is based solely on statutory eligibility and vendor exclusivity.
