The document is a combined synopsis/solicitation notice issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs for Home Sleep Apnea Testing Interpretation Services. Solicitation number 36C24725Q0287 is set to receive proposals by February 11, 2025. The services requested are part of a strategy to address a backlog of sleep study consults, specifically through the interpretation of remote WatchPAT tests.
The procurement is open to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), aligning with the NAICS code 621610, which has a small business size standard of $19 million. The main contractor must provide remote sleep study equipment to veterans and interpret the results, also offering CPAP/BiPAP machines if needed. The service is expected to operate Monday through Saturday, with results delivered within 48 hours of test completion.
Contract terms are guided by the Federal Acquisition Regulation, and proposals will be evaluated based on technical capabilities, past performance, and price.

This solicitation underscores the VA's commitment to enhancing healthcare delivery for veterans while ensuring compliance with federal regulations and standards.
The Veterans Affairs (VA) is seeking information through a Sources Sought Notice (SSN) regarding potential contractors for Home Sleep Study Testing services, specifically to collaborate with the Carl Vinson VA HealthCare System in Dublin, GA. Interested vendors must respond to Contract Specialist Darius Crane by January 17, 2025. This notice is for market research purposes only and does not constitute any commitment to issue a contract.
The service will require the contractor to provide home sleep study kits, interpret the resulting data, and supply necessary CPAP/BiPAP machines as prescribed. Key performance expectations include the rapid return of results within 48 hours of test completion and equipment dispatch to veterans. The interpreting service must have access to the WatchPAT Direct Program and comply with federal requirements, including performance monitoring by the government. Vendors are asked to submit a capability statement and indicate their business classifications, including small disadvantaged and veteran-owned designations.
This initiative aligns with the VA's commitment to enhancing healthcare services for veterans, ensuring access to necessary sleep study interpretations and follow-up equipment in a timely manner.
