National Contract Service - Direct Delivery Team

The VA Direct Delivery Team awards contracts for high-tech medical equipment at competitive prices. Although these national contracts are available for use by any Federal agency, only the NAC has authority to place the delivery orders with the contractors. Most delivery orders are placed within thirty days after receipt of a funded purchase request or placed via a consolidation mechanism. For additional information please contact Mr. James Booth (708) 786-5258, or contact the appropriate Contract Specialist directly.
