About this file

This document is a Contractor Questions and Answers file for a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) solicitation for Patient Lift Preventative Maintenance Inspections. The solicitation (36C24425Q0952) is a 100% set-aside for Service Disabled Veteran Owned Businesses (SDVOSB) under NAICS code 811210, with a business size standard of $34 million. The procurement involves inspecting government-owned patient lifts, with the majority of lifts installed in 2019 and 2021, and two current lifts dating from 2017.

Key details include a solicitation posted on 09/10/2025 with a response date of 09/25/2025 at 7:00am ET. The contract follows the Service Contract Act Wage Determination No. 2015-4231 Rev 29. The questions and answers reveal this is a new requirement, replacing a previous contract (36C24420P0323), with the last preventative maintenance inspection performed by a third-party contractor. Contractors must use the VHA Directive 1611 Checklist for inspecting ceiling-mounted patient lifts, and the solicitation is being managed by the Pittsburgh, PA Contracting Office.
