The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 1 awarded a firm fixed price, sole source delivery order to Olympus America Inc for the expansion and replacement of surgical scopes at the VA Boston Healthcare System Jamaica Plain and West Roxbury locations. The contract, identified by award number 36F79721D0168 36C24122N0934, was finalized on September 20, 2022, for a total amount of 930,188.74 dollars. This procurement includes the acquisition of replacement scopes, components, accessories, video equipment, installation, and training services.

The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to award a firm fixed price, sole source delivery order to Olympus America Inc for a 36-month lease of specialized medical equipment for the Manchester VA Medical Center.
