Network Contracting Office (NCO) 10 intends to award a new firm-fixed-price, brand-name purchase order to replacement mattresses.

ESTIMATED DOLLAR VALUE:

REQUIRED DELIVERY DATE: 60 Days ARO

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: The acquisition is for Hillrom AccuMax Quantum VPC therapeutic mattresses, which feature proprietary Controlled Release™ Valve Technology, a viscoelastic foam top layer, and Heel Pillow™ design to provide advanced pressure redistribution and prevent pressure injuries. The mattresses also include a two-way stretch cover that reduces shear, friction, and moisture accumulation. These patented and proprietary features are unique to Hillrom, and no other manufacturer provides a mattress with the same specifications. Alternative mattresses are not guaranteed to be compatible with Hillrom bed frames, articulating functions, or patient safety mechanisms. Use of non- Hillrom mattresses could compromise patient safety, bed functionality, and regulatory compliance. This acquisition ensures compliance with FAR 11.105—Items peculiar to one manufacturer—and FAR 12.4—Unique Requirements Regarding Terms and Conditions for Commercial Items, while satisfying Buy American Act requirements.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: Market research was conducted by the Contracting Officer to determine if there were other vendors capable of providing cameras that meet DAY VAMC's specific requirements.
