The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Great Lakes Acquisition Center plans to negotiate a sole source contract with Baxter Hill-ROM for the maintenance and repair of Progressa ICU beds at the Milwaukee VA Medical Center. This contract is justified under 41 U.S.C. 1901's Simplified Acquisition Procedures, indicating that only one responsible source can meet the requirements. The contract will be a firm fixed price for a base year with four additional option years. Despite market research, only one OEM factory trained vendor was identified, and prior quotes were deemed unreasonable. Interested parties must provide evidence of their capability to comply with the requirements by submitting specifics, including OEM authorization and certifications of technical personnel, by April 18, 2025. Any responses received will be evaluated at the government's discretion, though no competitive quotes are being solicited at this time. The documentation is aimed at ensuring the safety and operational integrity of medical equipment through the engagement of approved personnel for servicing.
