The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its Program Contracting Activity Central (PCAC), has issued a combined synopsis/solicitation (Request for Quotation) for the supply of medical gases to various VA medical facilities within the VISN 16 catchment area in the South Central United States. The contractor will be responsible for providing, filling, transporting, handling, servicing, maintaining, delivering, picking up, and storing medical gases and cylinders for eight Veterans Administration Medical Center (VAMC) facilities and their clinics, with all gases required to comply with United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and National Formulary (NF) standards.
