The VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System (VASNHCS) is requesting procurement of the WyEast Vista Non-Powered Stand Aid. The Vista Non-Powered Stand Aid (Model 51871) is a manual, sit-to-stand patient transfer device manufactured by Wy'East Medical Corporation. A non-powered stand-assist device (sometimes called sit-to-stand or stand-assist aid) that enables caregivers to help partially weight-bearing patients stand or transfer safely between beds, chairs, wheelchairs, and commodes. This durable, easy-to-operate stand aid reduces

4. Authority:

Order Against FSS: Authority of the Multiple Award Schedule Program, Title III of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (41 USC 251, et seq.); Title 40 USC 501, Services for Executive Agencies; and Section 803 of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2002 (PL 107-107) and implemented by 538.7104-3(a).

5. Rationale/explanation to support cited authority:

The Wy’East Vista Non-Powered Stand Aid provides unique capabilities required for safe patient mobility and effective clinical workflows. It supports partially weight-bearing patients during transfers, enables rehabilitation activities, and helps prevent caregiver injury by reducing manual lifting.

Failure to procure this specific stand aid may lead to:

• Increased risk to patient safety due to use of outdated or unreliable equipment.

• Greater operational inefficiencies, impacting care delivery and workflow.

• Potential non-compliance with VA directives, risking accreditation, funding, or reimbursement.

• Restricted patient access to treatment areas, reducing quality of care for veterans.

The Vista device’s pneumatic assist function, adjustable supports, and multi-configuration seat pads offer performance not met by the aging QUICKMOVE system or other available stand aids. Its modern design ensures adherence to best-practice standards and supports early mobility protocols essential for veteran rehabilitation.

This brand-name product is the only device that satisfies the Medical Center’s clinical, safety, and regulatory requirements.

6. BRAND NAME ONLY: This buy is estimated to exceed $25,000 and this documentation will be posted along with the RFQ on e-Buy, as required by GSAM 538.7104-4.
