MOPEC Lift Isometric _ JD5000 Brand Name or Equal Template for Product Salient characteristics.docx

This is a Brand Name or Equal Equipment Specification Template for a morgue lift system required under VA solicitation 36C24226B0046 for replacing morgue freezers at the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 2.

The specification establishes the MOPEC JD5000 electric-powered cadaver lift as the reference equipment, defining salient characteristics that qualified substitute products must meet or exceed. Required capabilities include a minimum 500-pound lifting capacity, vertical travel compatible with multi-tier body storage racks (minimum 4-tier reach), stainless steel or corrosion-resistant construction suitable for mortuary environments, and foot pedal or hands-free control operation. The lift must feature locking caster wheels for mobility, adjustable lifting forks or platform compatible with standard body trays or racks, compact footprint for maneuverability within morgue freezer rooms, and smooth controlled lift operation to prevent body displacement. Electrical compatibility with standard hospital power (120V typical) and compliance with OSHA safety requirements are mandatory. The template explicitly permits similar substitutions from other vendors provided they meet the project intent and comply with applicable federal, state, and VA standards, allowing offerors flexibility in proposing alternative equipment that matches or exceeds the specified salient characteristics.
