5. Reason for Authority Cited: A request for quotation (RFQ) was posted to the government point of Entry (GPE) under solicitation number W81K00-16-T-M047. Quotes were submitted by Arjohuntleigh, Inc., Sizewise and Hill-Rom. However, only the quote submitted by Arjohuntleigh was determined to be technically acceptable. The other vendors did not offer all bed positions, rotation or battery back-up specifications. Therefore, BPA W81K00-16-A-0024 was awarded to Arjohuntleigh on 1 October 2016.

6. Actions to Increase Competition: When the current BPA expires, every effort shall be made to increase competition. Regional Health Contracting Office — Central will continue to evaluate the capabilities of other vendor's products and re-procure the equipment that provides the best value to the Government.

7. Market Survey: Market research was conducted on 26 July 2018, based on potential sources that were provided by the small business specialist. However, this research revealed that those businesses could not provide the type of beds required for this effort. One of the vendors offered a bed by Hill-Rom. Hill-Rom’s proposal that was submitted for the original BPA was deemed technically unacceptable. The other vendor only provided a capability statement indicating their ability to install exam tables.
