REPLACEMENT VENTILATORS

The Department of Veterans Affairs is procuring five Nihon Kohden NKV-330 non-invasive ventilators to upgrade existing equipment at the Boise Veterans Affairs Medical Center, with performance taking place at the Respiratory Therapy Department in Building 67, Room 253, Boise, ID. This procurement, issued under solicitation number 36C26026Q0607, is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set Aside, with a response deadline of May 6, 2026. The contractor is required to supply all equipment, tools, hardware, software, licenses, installation services, maintenance, warranty, and clinical training, ensuring the devices are new, fully integrated with current facility systems, and meet specific clinical standards including integrated dual HEPA filtration, ETCO₂, and SpO₂ monitoring. The contract mandates delivery within 120 days of award and completion of installation and training no later than five months after delivery. All equipment must comply with VAAR, FAR, and applicable federal, state, and local regulations. The contract is expected to be Firm-Fixed Price under FAR Part 12, as it involves commercial items, with evaluation based on past performance, technical compliance, and price, reflecting a potential trade-off process rather than LPTA. The government reserves the right to inspect and accept or reject items based on conforming to contract requirements, with final acceptance taking place at the delivery location. Payment will be processed electronically through the VA’s EIPP system using X12 EDI standards, and invoices must reference the contract number and line items. The contractor must affirm SDVOSB status and provide a Unique Entity ID and CAGE code, while adhering to stringent flow-down clauses prohibiting participation with sanctioned entities, ensuring supply chain security, enforcing ethical conduct, prohibiting certain telecommunications and surveillance equipment, and requiring whistleblower protections and executive compensation reporting. Packaging and labeling must comply with MIL-STD-129, including CAGE codes and origin markings, and subcontracting is limited to ensure SDVOSB performance of a significant portion of the work. The contracting officer’s technical representative will oversee acceptance, while the primary point of contact is Jazir Fahim of the NCO 20 Network Contracting Office in Vancouver, WA. No contract value has been publicly disclosed due to uncompleted pricing fields in Section B, and the award may not necessarily go to the lowest-priced offer.
