Powered Sit to Stand Patient Lift | Marion VA Medical Center

The purpose of this Amendment is to address industry Q&A. The RFQ submission date is not extended; all submissions are due 07/20/2026 at 11:00 AM Central Time.

Industry Q&A

Q. The Statement of Requirement specifies that the legs must widen to a minimum of 40 inches.

Will the Government consider a powered sit-to-stand lift whose legs widen electronically to 38 inches, where the lift meets or exceeds all capacity and safety requirements?

A. 38 inches would be considered. The Statement of Requirement has been amended to reflect this consideration.

Q. The SOW requires the weight scale readout to appear on the hand control without requiring separate batteries. Will the Government consider an integrated digital scale rated at or above the lift's full weight capacity with a dedicated backlit display mounted on the lift, powered by the lift's rechargeable battery system?

A. The weight scale readout is required over the readout only appearing on the lift due to the ability of the staff member to remain near the Veteran for safety and still have the visibility of reading the weight on the handheld control.

Q. The SOW requires compatibility with clip-based slings, including the Arjo MFA3000 disposable sling. Is this requirement satisfied by a lift supplied with an equivalent range of standing slings (wipeable and disposable options in medium through x-large), or must the lift physically accept Arjo clip-style slings?

A. Currently existing powered sit-to-stand slings in use throughout the Marion VA system are compatible with clip-based slings, including the Arjo MFA3000 disposable sling which is currently in use at the facility. The intent is to ensure cross compatibility among the various, in-use sit to stand patient lifts and slings.

Q. Will a padded, contoured, height-adjustable leg support with a wipeable surface satisfy this requirement?

A. A removable, single belt to secure the patient's legs is requested due to the flexibility of using the strap to secure one or both legs while adapting to different body sizes, weight bearing restrictions, and/or prosthetic devices, on one of the lower extremities but a powered sit-to-stand lift with the same leg support capability would be considered.

Q. Can the Government confirm whether this requirement is brand-name-or-equal, and if a specific manufacturer's product formed the basis of the salient characteristics, identify that product so offerors may confirm equivalency?

A. This is not a brand-name or equal requirement.

STATEMENT OF REQUIREMENT

Background

The Marion VA Health Care System Department requires the acquisition of powered sit-to-stand lifts to support patient care, early mobility initiatives, and staff safety. These devices will be used in conjunction with the Mobility Screening and Solutions Tool (MSST), which identifies appropriate mobility equipment based on each patient’s functional level. Powered sit-to-stand lifts facilitate safe standing, reduce fall risk for Veterans, and mitigate lifting-related injuries among clinical staff. Procuring updated equipment aligns with the goals and standards outlined in VHA Directive 1611, supporting a safe patient handling and mobility (SPHM) environment.

Scope of Work

The contractor shall provide powered sit-to-stand lifts that meet all minimum technical specifications listed in this SOW. The contractor shall furnish all equipment, materials, shipping, and related warranties required to deliver fully functional units to the VA. All equipment must be new, compliant with the specifications below, and suitable for clinical, daily-use environments.

• Must include a single, wipeable belt to secure the patient’s legs in place.

• Must include an integrated scale capable of functioning at the lift’s full weight capacity.

• Leg support must be flexible and adjustable to accommodate differences in positioning and leg anatomy.

• Design must allow patients to bear weight on at least one leg and hold with at least one hand.

• Leg width adjustment must be controlled electronically.

• Patient handle must raise and lower via electronic controls.

• Weight scale readout must appear on the hand control and must not require separate batteries.

• Must include emergency stop and emergency lowering functions.

Delivery to:

Marion VA Medical Center 2401 West Main Street Marion, IL 62959

Acceptance Criteria

Equipment will be inspected upon arrival to verify compliance with all technical specifications.

Any unit that does not meet the stated requirements will be rejected and must be replaced at no cost to the Government.
