W065--VISN-04 Home Oxygen East BRIDGE III | NCO 4

The Philadelphia, Wilmington, Wilkes-Barre, and Coatesville VA Medical Centers plan to negotiate a sole source emergency bridge contract for Home Oxygen Services with Eagle Home Medical Corp., based in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina. This contract will be awarded under FAR 6.302-1, which allows for non-competitive procurement when only one responsible source can meet the agency's requirements. The procurement will follow Commercial Simplified Acquisition Procedures, resulting in a firm fixed price contract. The contract aligns with NAICS Code 532283 and a size standard of $35 million. The justification and approval for this sole source action will be included in the final award notice. This notice is solely an announcement of intent to award the contract and is not a solicitation or request for proposals. Responses must demonstrate clear and convincing evidence that the responder can fulfill the contract requirements and that competition would be beneficial, although the Government reserves the right not to compete the procurement. The contract is being managed by the VISN-04 Network Contract Office 4 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with Ronald Kline serving as the contracting officer. The contract pertains to an emergency bridge to maintain continuity of Home Oxygen Services within the VA healthcare system.
