About this file

This is an Amendment to a Solicitation/Modification of Contract (Standard Form 30) issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 8 (NCO 8) for a Vibroacoustic Therapy Chair procurement. The amendment's primary purpose is to provide responses to pre-award questions from potential offerors. The solicitation number is 36C24826Q1108, issued on August 19, 2026, with a close date of August 28, 2026, at 2:00 PM EST. The requirement is for one vibroacoustic therapy chair to be delivered to the C.W. Bill Young VA Medical Center in Bay Pines, Florida. The procurement is set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), with a NAICS code of 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) and a small business size standard of 800 employees.

The amendment clarifies several key points: the requirement is a brand name or equal procurement where products meeting or exceeding the salient characteristics specified in the Statement of Work are acceptable; the two CLINs listed represent alternative configurations for a single chair, not two separate purchases; adjustable side armrests are required for one chair only; and the controlling delivery requirement is 30–45 days after receipt of order, with December 31, 2026, serving only as an administrative buffer date. No onsite setup or in-service training is required. All vendors must be registered in the System Award Management (SAM) database and possess SBA Small Business Search (SBS) SDVOSB certification. Price quotes should include the Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) Number and supporting certification documentation. Responses should be submitted to William Sean Penhallegon at william.penhallegon@va.gov.

Questions and Answers.

1. We recognize the presolicitation notice references a vibroacoustic therapy chair, while the VIBEx Platinum uses a full-body bed configuration. Before submitting our formal quotation, could you please confirm whether the VA will consider a full-body vibroacoustic platform as an acceptable equivalent or alternate solution provided it meets or exceeds the required therapeutic functionality? Yes, this is a brand‑name‑or‑equal requirement, as long as the salient characteristics meet or exceed those specified in the SOW.

2. BRAND NAME OR EQUAL.

If the procurement is open to us, please confirm whether an equal product meeting the salient characteristics will be accepted, or whether a specific manufacturer's product is required. If salient characteristics have been published, we would be grateful for a pointer to them. Yes, this is a brand‑name‑or‑equal requirement, as long as the salient characteristics meet or exceed those specified in the SOW.

3. The statement of work requests one vibroacoustic therapy chair, but CLIN 0001 and CLIN 0002 each list a quantity of one. Is the VA purchasing two chairs, or are these configurations intended as alternatives for a single chair? The configurations are intended for a single chair.

4. If two chairs are required, should the adjustable side armrests under CLIN 0003 be provided for one chair only, or does each chair require its own set? One chair only, require its own set.

5. Please confirm whether this acquisition remains an SDVOSB set-aside, as the solicitation documents and public opportunity listings appear to reflect different information. This requirement is an SDVOSB set-aside.

6. The statement of work references delivery and setup within 30–45 days after receipt of order, while the delivery schedule lists December 31, 2026. Which delivery requirement controls? The controlling delivery requirement is 30–45 days after receipt of order (ARO) as stated in the Statement of Work. The December 31, 2026, date in the delivery schedule serves only as an administrative buffer to prevent the need for a modification should unforeseen delays occur; it does not replace or override the 30–45-day ARO requirement. Deliver equipment as soon as possible.

7. Please confirm whether onsite setup and in-service training are required and whether those costs should be included in the applicable equipment line items or CLIN 0004. No training needed.

The purpose of this amendment is to provide responses to the questions received. The RFQ close date remains August 28, 2026, at 2:00 PM EST.
