Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically the Network Contract Office 9 (NCO9), has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole-source contract to Aggreko, LLC for the emergency rental of a portable air handling unit (AHU).

Luke Weathers Jr, VAMC in Memphis, TN, to maintain essential humidity and temperature control, preventing patient case cancellations and ensuring sterilized supplies.
