6515--GNV Bariatric Beds 36C24826Q0515

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 is soliciting offers for three bariatric patient beds to support Acute Care Services at the Malcolm Randall VA Medical Center in Gainesville, Florida. The beds must meet detailed specifications including powered width expansion, powered length adjustment, a weight capacity of 1,100 pounds, height adjustability from 18.5 to 26.8 inches, and advanced features such as motion-activated nightlights, Trendelenburg positioning, and fall prevention mechanisms. Evaluation will be conducted on a firm-fixed-price basis with technical merit and delivery capability weighted as more important factors than price. The offer due date is April 15, 2026, at 4:30 PM EDT, representing an extremely compressed timeline for interested vendors. This is a commercial products and services acquisition issued under the SF 1449 form.

This solicitation is set aside 100% for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) under NAICS code 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing), with a size standard of 800 employees. No incumbent contractor is identified in the solicitation materials. The delivery requirement is 60 days after receipt of order (ARO) with FOB Destination delivery to the Malcolm Randall VA Medical Center dock. The procurement includes four line items: a base standard bariatric bed with powered features, a low air loss surface, drive XL casters, and nurse call integration in the siderail. The specific award value or budget ceiling is not disclosed in the available documentation, though the procurement of three specialized medical beds suggests a contract value in the mid-range for medical equipment purchases.
