Wellsense Maintenance Warranty

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 8, is awarding a firm-fixed-price, sole-source contract to Wellsense, Inc. for an all-inclusive annual maintenance service for 32 Wellsense VU Advanced Pressure Visualization Systems located at the James A. Haley Veterans Hospital in Tampa, Florida. The contract is justified under FAR 13.5 due to the proprietary nature of the equipment, as Wellsense, Inc. is the original equipment manufacturer and the only responsible source capable of providing necessary replacement parts, technical support, and software upgrades without voiding warranties or compromising patient safety. The estimated total value of the acquisition is $691,200.00. The period of performance consists of a one-year base period running from September 15, 2025, to September 14, 2026, with three additional one-year option periods available at the government's discretion. Services include comprehensive maintenance to ensure 100 percent pressure injury detection capability and minimal equipment downtime, adhering to OEM and OSHA standards. Inspection and acceptance will occur at the destination in Tampa, Florida. Price reasonableness was determined by comparing the costs to existing VA contracts for similar services.
