    Description

    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) intends to award a sole source contract to Matheson Tri-Gas Inc. for the delivery of bulk oxygen and associated services at the Long Beach Healthcare System. This procurement is necessitated by unusual circumstances, specifically the ongoing construction around the facility's main and backup oxygen tanks, which limits access and would create significant operational hardships if removal and replacement were required. The urgency of the situation aligns with Federal Acquisition Regulation provisions that allow for non-competitive solicitation under specific conditions. Interested parties are invited to submit capabilities statements by September 10, 2024, at 7:00 AM PST, and inquiries should be directed to Contracting Officer Anthony Dela Cruz at anthony.delacruz@va.gov or by phone at 562-766-2284.

    NOI 36C26225Q0023.docx
    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) intends to make a sole source award to Matheson Tri-Gas Inc. for the provision of bulk oxygen and associated services at the Long Beach Healthcare System. This decision is justified due to unusual circumstances: ongoing construction around the facility's main and backup oxygen tanks limits access, and removing and replacing these systems would impose significant hardship on operations. The requirement for a new system would also necessitate a multi-year lead time for design and funding, neither of which is feasible currently. The procurement aligns with Federal Acquisition Regulation allowing for non-competitive solicitation under specified urgent conditions. Interested parties may submit capabilities statements to demonstrate the feasibility and advantages of competitive proposals; however, the ultimate decision to proceed with a competitive process rests solely with the Government. The document outlines the contracting office details, response deadline, and contact information for inquiries.
