PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (DRAFT)
HOME OXYGEN SERVICES VISN 15
SCOPE: This Performance Work Statement (PWS) defines the effort required for the setup, installation, and
management of Home Oxygen services and Ventilation, in accordance with National Accreditation standards (i.e.
Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO)) to Veteran beneficiaries serviced by
VISN 15. This PWS includes the associated program management, human engineering, and logistic support
planning requirements. The use of the terms “beneficiary”, “veterans”, “patients”, and “patient” are used
interchangeably and refer to the recipient of required supplies, equipment and incidental services required under
the contract.
BACKGROUND: The acquisition of home oxygen services is being initiated to provide Home Oxygen services
to Veteran beneficiaries serviced by VISN 15. VISN 15 does not have the capacity to provide these services, so
a contract has been sought for the provision of home oxygen and all associated products and services. As of
October 2025, VISN 15 has approximately 5000 beneficiaries on home oxygen and 115 on ventilators. The total
number of patients fluctuates each month due to patients being added/removed from the program. Historical data
indicates that the overall number of unique patients on home oxygen has minimally fluctuated from January 2020
(5,585) to January 2022 (5000).
1.1 LOCATIONS: All services shall be performed in the veteran's place of residence. The area of service shall
be all patients serviced by VISN 15, including counties of the catchment areas as well as additional counties
identified in this contract. The equipment needs are subject to change as determined by the prescribing
physician. Contractors shall have a facility or resources physically located in the geographic area in which they
shall provide service. Non-territory requests shall be required from time to time and the Contractor shall accept
these "non-territory" Veterans at that Contractor’s awarded price. VA reserves the right to assign these patients
to any contractor. The geographical boundaries described herein have been determined as the areas of
responsibility/jurisdiction for each local VA Medical Center (see VISN 15 Facilities and Counties covered,
attached).
