    The Department of Veterans Affairs has issued a solicitation (36C24125Q0308) for the procurement of ResMed Astral Ventilators and associated accessories. This Request for Quote (RFQ) is set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBC). Quotes are to be submitted by March 26, 2025, for delivery to the White River Junction VA Medical Center and Community Surgical Supply in Warwick, RI. Key requirements include nine units of the Astral 150 Life Support ventilator with a two-year warranty, along with various stands and accessories. Delivery is expected within 30 days of order receipt. Interested vendors must comply with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and provide detailed quotes that include pricing, technical specifications, and any applicable warranties. Evaluation will prioritize price, delivery speed, and past performance. The solicitation stresses that no further written documents will be distributed, prioritizing a simplified acquisition process.

    P03_Limiting_Sources_Justification_Redacted.pdf
    The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking to limit sourcing for the acquisition of 18 ResMed Astral 150 ventilators, including accessories, for the VA Healthcare Systems in Boston and White River Junction. Due to the discontinuation of production for existing Respironics ventilators, ResMed is identified as the only manufacturer capable of providing adequate support for the specific needs of patients requiring mechanical ventilation. The justification for limiting sources is based on the unique compatibility of these devices with the existing patient care platforms and the historical training received by staff. The procurement process is underpinned by various federal regulations, specifically relating to the authority of the Multiple Award Schedule Program. Market research confirmed three Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) capable of supplying these ventilators. This approach adheres to FAR guidelines, allowing for less than full and open competition due to the specialized nature of the equipment. A combined solicitation will be published given the sufficient market interest identified. The acquisition thereupon aims to maintain brand consistency and continuity in patient care without incurring extra costs associated with training and unfamiliar equipment.
