Vascular Access Services at Puller Veterans Care Center

The Puller Veterans Care Center, under the Commonwealth of Virginia Department of Veterans Services, is soliciting proposals for vascular access services in Warrenton, Virginia. The contract consists of an initial one-year term with four optional one-year renewals. The selected contractor must provide a certified vascular access nurse with current American Heart BLS certification and supply all necessary equipment, including an ultrasound machine capable of transmitting images to the facility's Point Click Care system. Key services include ultrasound-guided PICC and midline catheter insertions, port access, PICC removals, declotting, dressing changes, and nursing staff education. A critical performance requirement is the ability to be on-site and provide services within four hours of an order being placed. Award decisions will be based on professional qualifications and proposed services, with a preference for DSBSD-certified micro or small businesses. The evaluation process involves ranking offerors by merit and negotiating a fair and reasonable price. Contractors are required to use ECG tip placement confirmation instead of CXR and must provide monthly quality statistics to the Director of Nursing. Compliance requirements include eVA registration, adherence to Virginia non-discrimination laws, and participation in the E-Verify program for employers with more than 50 employees on contracts exceeding 50,000 dollars. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the eVA system by October 19, 2026.
