Draft Schedule.xlsx

This is a draft schedule template for a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 (VISN 23). The template is designed to collect vendor pricing and product information for surgical lights systems (123 units needed), equipment booms systems (116 units needed), anesthesia booms systems (32 units needed), and video integration systems (55 units needed). Vendors are instructed to organize their responses by system type and component classification, with the flexibility to group components into classes or categories as appropriate. VISN 23 explicitly states it is not seeking a single solution for all sites but rather customizable system configurations with component substitutes to meet individual site requirements.

The template requires vendors to submit detailed information for each component including manufacturer name, product/component number, component name and description, component group/class, price per unit, system name, manufacturer business size, country of manufacture, and confirmation of whether maintenance service plans and warranties are offered (including warranty length). Vendors must also provide GSA contract numbers or other applicable national federal contract numbers. The RFI seeks to understand commercial market capabilities and standard industry schedule organization practices to inform future solicitation and contracting strategies. Failure to follow the specified response format may affect the acquisition strategy.
