About this opportunity

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, specifically Veterans Integrated Service Network 23, is seeking sources for stainless steel automatic paper towel dispensers to be installed at the Black Hills VA Health Care System in Fort Meade, South Dakota. This Sources Sought Notice is designed to gather market research information from potential vendors before potentially issuing a formal solicitation for up to 70 hands-free dispensers as part of a Medical Surgical Remodeling Project. Interested firms must submit capability statements by December 9, 2024, at 4:00 PM Central Time to robert.bennett8@va.gov, with responses being used solely to inform the government's acquisition strategy. The applicable NAICS code is 332999 (All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing), with a size standard of 750 employees, and vendors must ensure their SAM registration reflects this classification. Potential respondents should carefully review the full requirements and understand that this notice does not constitute a formal solicitation and does not obligate the government to proceed with a procurement.

The procurement is not set aside for any specific small business category, though small businesses are encouraged to participate with the understanding that at least 50 percent of contract performance costs must be expended on direct employees. The specific dispenser requirement calls for Tork Matic Automatic Roll Towel Dispensers or equivalent, constructed of smudge-proof stainless steel, battery-operated with D batteries, and measuring approximately 15"H x 14"W x 8"D. Delivery is expected within 30 days of award, with products required to be on hand within 125 days of purchase request. The point of delivery will be the Fort Meade VAMC located at 113 Comanche Road, Fort Meade, SD 57741. While no specific contract value is mentioned, the project involves multiple phases of installation across the medical facility's remodeling effort. Vendors should note that the government reserves the right to cancel the requirement at its discretion and will not reimburse any costs associated with preparing and submitting information in response to this Sources Sought Notice.
