Key Takeaways

- Local procurement helps municipal programs maximize their Older Americans Act (OAA) grant spending.
- OB1 Medical is a registered California vendor serving veterans' homes, public clinics, and county hospitals.
The Veterans Affairs outpatient clinic network — including Community Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs) — provides primary care, mental health, specialty care, and rehabilitation services to veterans across the country. Many veterans who receive care at VA clinics also need durable medical equipment dispensed directly or coordinated with their home care plan.
VA Community Care and MISSION Act
The MISSION Act expanded veterans’ access to community care providers. Veterans referred to community DME suppliers through VA Community Care Network authorizations may be eligible to receive equipment from suppliers like OB1.
Equipment Commonly Dispensed at VA Clinics
- Canes, crutches, and walkers for ambulatory aid
- Manual and power wheelchairs for mobility-impaired veterans
- CPAP machines — VA is one of the largest dispensers of CPAP, given high rates of sleep apnea in veterans
- Bathroom safety equipment for veteran home modification
Working With VA Procurement Requirements
VA procurement follows the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and VA-specific policies. The most common vehicle for DMEPOS is the Federal Supply Schedule (FSS), Schedule 65 II A. OB1 works within the authorization frameworks that VA Community Care and purchasing offices use.
Supporting Veterans in the Central Valley
The Central Valley is home to a large veteran population served by CBOCs in Fresno, Tulare, Bakersfield, and surrounding communities. OB1 is committed to getting veterans the equipment they need, quickly and reliably.
