The VA is conducting market research to identify capable suppliers of a full spectrum of medical‑grade gas cylinders (oxygen, nitrous‑oxide, nitrogen, carbon‑dioxide, helium, compressed air, specialty lung‑diffusion mixes, liquid nitrogen, etc.) for the Louis A. Johnson VA Medical Center in Clarksburg, WV. The effort is a Sources‑Sought notice; no contract is awarded yet. Vendors must demonstrate compliance with USP/NF specifications, FDA CGMP registration, DOT hazardous‑material regulations, and relevant federal specifications. Quantities include thousands of cylinders to be rented and delivered on a near‑real‑time schedule, with emergency delivery capability. The contract would be a base‑year (Jan 15 2027‑Jan 14 2028) plus up to four one‑year options, potentially lasting five years. Responders must submit capability, size‑status, pricing, and certification data by the deadline.

• Delivery within 24 hours of request (regular) and within 2 hours for up to three emergency deliveries per year, with 24/7 telephone support.
