Supply of Disposable Home Sleep Apnea Testing Devices

The contract involves the supply of single-use WatchPAT One devices intended for home-based sleep apnea testing at the San Antonio VA Medical Center. These disposable devices are shipped directly to patients, where they are used once to conduct the sleep study and then discarded, ensuring convenience and hygiene for veterans undergoing sleep apnea diagnosis from their homes. The procurement is designated as a subcontract under a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business sole source set-aside, emphasizing the Department of Veterans Affairs' commitment to supporting veteran-owned enterprises. Classified under NAICS code 339112, this contract facilitates an efficient and patient-centered approach to sleep apnea testing by eliminating the need for in-clinic visits or device returns. Managed by the 257-NETWORK Contract Office 17 within the Department of Veterans Affairs, the initiative underscores the agency's efforts to enhance veteran healthcare access and streamline diagnostic processes through innovative, user-friendly technology directly delivered to the patients' residences.
