SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS
INTRODUCTION / BACKGROUND
The Veterans Administration (VA) Denver Logistic and Acquisitions Center (DALC) administer holistic supply chain management for the VA National Hearing Aid and VA Telehealth Programs. Commodities managed include worldwide distribution of hearing aids, hearing aid accessories, cochlear implants, assistive devices, batteries, prosthetic socks, orthotic soft goods, aids for the visually impaired, and VA telehealth messaging hubs and peripherals. Peripherals include items such as floor scales, pedometers, blood pressure monitors, and pulse oximeters. Veterans may order many items directly from the DALC and have them shipped to their homes, reducing unnecessary trips to medical facilities and enhancing efficiency of clinical staff. Some items are ordered by clinicians to be shipped to the clinic to be issued to the Veteran.
This particular requirement will fulfill a need for commodities needed to effectively process the orders received at the DALC in support of the VA Telehealth Program. The Contractor shall provide pedometers to the DALC that will be sent directly to Veterans.
SCOPE
This is a Sources Sought Announcement seeking information as to the availability of Trade Agreement Act (TAA) compliant products for distribution by the Department of Veterans Affairs, (VA) Denver Acquisition & Logistics Center (DALC).
