This is a Sources Sought document outlining salient characteristics for automated scrub dispensing and collection machines required by the Seattle VA, a component of the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 20. The pre-solicitation (Solicitation Number 36C260-27-AP-0393) seeks a secure, 24/7 availability automated vending system that distributes clean professional hospital garments and tracks returns using employee issue scrub badges.

The document specifies three machine configurations: (1) a Medium Volume Dispenser/Receiver combining both functions with 64-unit dispenser capacity and 60-unit receiver capacity; (2) a Large Volume Dispenser (LVD) with 128-unit capacity capable of serving 170 users per day; and (3) a Large Volume Receiver (LVR) with 140-unit capacity (or 112 units with return cart). All machines feature identical physical dimensions of 52"W x 16.5"D x 78"H with 2.75"W x 13.5"D x 6.75"H dispenser slots and 2.1 to 4.8-second dispense times. Each machine includes a 7" touchscreen interface, card/badge reader supporting proximity, magnetic stripe, and barcode hospital ID badges, steel construction with minimal moving parts, credit-based return enforcement, user-specific size preference storage, real-time monitoring capabilities, and digital imaging of returned scrub sets. The machines must support various scrub styles, colors, and sizes with reliable, patented design suitable for locker rooms, hallways, and alcoves.
