    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is procuring a brand name only upgrade for the Philips IntelliVue Patient Monitoring System at the San Diego VA Healthcare System (SDVAHCS). The upgrade aims to maintain compatibility with existing Philips equipment and ensure uninterrupted patient care services. This acquisition falls under Simplified Acquisition Procedures for Certain Commercial Items as per FAR 13.5, and aims to award a fixed-price contract to a verified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) that is an authorized distributor of Philips products.
