Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is issuing a pre-solicitation for Hearing Aid Parts and Accessories (HAPA) Commercial to meet Veteran patient care needs. This effort aims to procure commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) non-proprietary hearing aid parts and accessories, standardize care processes, and ensure product quality and availability nationwide. The VA intends to award up to two Firm Fixed-Price, Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contracts. This is a Total Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Set-Aside. The Request for Proposals (RFP) is anticipated around April 1, 2026.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for a comprehensive range of COTS non-proprietary hearing aid parts and accessories. The detailed list includes approximately 96 items such as various tubing (e.g., #12, #13, #15, #16), cleaning supplies (e.g., cleaning spray, wipes, drying capsules), cases, ear gels/lubricants, otoclips, sweat bands, and other care kits and tools. Products will be ordered by the Denver Logistics Service (DLS) using their Remote Order Entry System (ROES).
