About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 is procuring Capsa Healthcare Avalo Auto Lock Medical Carts or equal alternatives for the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System's Critical Care Service Line. The procurement seeks three distinct cart configurations featuring auto-relock locking systems, multiple drawer sizes with dividers, and various accessories to safely secure medications and supplies in patient rooms and for line insertion and blood draw procedures. Key requirements include delivery within 60 days of contract award to the North Loading Dock at VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and provision of all necessary procedure manuals, troubleshooting guides, and operator documentation. The solicitation does not specify formal evaluation criteria in the notice, though the emphasis on brand name or equal alternatives suggests technical compliance with the detailed cart specifications will be critical to evaluation. The response deadline is March 27, 2026, at 12:00 PM Eastern Time, with the contracting officer Andrew Taylor (andrew.taylor3@va.gov, 724-679-2327) available at the Pittsburgh contracting office for inquiries.
This contract opportunity is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBC), which will significantly limit the competitive field to qualified vendors meeting this designation requirement. The pre-solicitation notice does not identify any incumbent contractor or current service provider, indicating this may be a new requirement for the facility. No award value or budget range is disclosed in the notice, requiring interested vendors to review the full solicitation documents for pricing and financial details. The procurement specifies three separate cart configurations with varying color schemes (light creme/dark creme, light creme/extreme green, and light creme/extreme blue) and includes multiple drawer subdividers, tracking upgrades, and handle modifications as required accessories. Delivery is restricted to normal business hours (Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 3:00 PM) at the specified Pittsburgh location, excluding federal holidays observed by the VA Medical Center.
