The Brand Name or Equal Provision applies only to CLINs 0001-0005 and their corresponding Option Year CLINs only. For each equal product, the offeror must include a description reflecting the characteristics and level of quality that will satisfy the salient physical, functional, or performance characteristics of the equal product(s) specified in the solicitation. The offeror also must clearly identify the item by brand name (if any) and make/model number.

The power-drive stretchers will be used to reduce forces on staff and avoid resulting injuries during transfer and handling of patients of sizes up to 700 pounds.

Type 1: Power Drive Stretcher – Transport is expected to be used for patients of sizes up to 700 pounds who are being transported through facilities but for whom neither long stays nor weighing nor repositioning on the stretcher is expected. Areas that may use this type of stretcher include Escort, although long stays may lead toward more complex stretchers. Position adjustments including back raising and knee gatch are necessary for patient comfort, but high frequency of repositioning patients on these stretchers is not expected.

Type 2: Power Drive Stretcher - Multiple-Hour (such as ED or Same Day Surgery) is expected to be used for patients of sizes up to 700 pounds who are being transported through facilities and for whom long stays, repositioning and/or weighing are required. Features including powered positioning, patient controls, and scales, help to prevent wounds, minimize extra transfers, save time, and prevent injuries related to raising the head of the bed. Fall protection features and the ability to transport equipment that hangs off horizontal bars would also be of value on these stretchers. Areas that may use this type of stretcher include Emergency, Same Day Surgery, GI lab, Spinal Cord Injury, Dialysis, and others.
