About this file
This is a Pre-solicitation Notice for the procurement of a grapple truck by the Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 (VISN 8). The solicitation number is 36C24826Q0329, with a response deadline of March 2, 2026 at 2:00 PM Eastern Time. The procurement is set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBC). The place of performance is the C.W. Bill Young Veterans Medical Center located at 10,000 Bay Pines Boulevard, Bay Pines, Florida 33744. The contracting office is the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 8 (NCO 8), with Michael Shook serving as the Contracting Officer.
The C.W. VA Medical Center EMS Grounds is requesting a grapple truck to efficiently remove downed trees and debris following hurricanes and severe weather events, with the goal of improving proficiency and timeliness in clearing roads and parking lots. The grapple truck will also support regular maintenance tasks such as clearing conservancy paths and tree trimming. The justification for this procurement stems from operational challenges experienced in 2024 when EMS Grounds assisted with cleanup at both the Bay Pines Medical Center and Lee County Healthcare campuses following two major hurricanes. The inability to remove large fallen trees and significant debris quantities resulted in delayed cleanup efforts and required emergency purchase orders from external vendors for services that would have been completed in-house with a grapple truck available.

DESCRIPTION
Background: The C.W VA Medical Center EMS Grounds requests to purchase a grapple truck to help pick up downed trees and limbs after hurricanes and severe weather events. This will help with proficiency and timeliness in clearing roads and parking lots. This truck can also be used when trimming trees. The grapple truck will pick up debris much more efficiently and effectively than by hand. This truck is also needed for regular tasks such as clearing paths in the conservancy. In 2024, EMS Grounds assisted with the cleanup of the Bay Pines Medical Center and Lee County Healthcare campuses after the two major hurricanes in 2024. Cleanup efforts were delayed because EMS Grounds did not have the means to remove very large fallen trees and hefty quantities of debris. EMS had to procure emergency purchase orders to have vendors come and provide the services that our own staff would have been able to accomplish with a grapple truck.
