DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS (VA) DENVER ACQUISITION & LOGISTICS CENTER (DALC) REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS INTRODUCTION / BACKGROUND The Veterans Administration (VA) Denver Logistic and Acquisitions Center (DALC) administers holistic supply chain management for the VA National Hearing Aid and VA Telehealth Programs.

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 Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliant, finger pulse oximeters to the DALC that will be sent directly to Veterans. II.
