Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
The prior award 36C26323P0926 was awarded to Thoren Caging Systems for a “CAGING SYSTEM” in the period 09/11/23–12/31/23 (value $24,000), and it appears closely related to the current RFQ for a Maximiser Caging System. Because both efforts involve supplying a caging system of the same brand/product line for VA use, the earlier work likely represents a continuation of the same equipment requirement at the Iowa City VA Health Care System.
