About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs is soliciting quotes for Automated Cardiac Resuscitators through a Request for Quote (RFQ) under solicitation number 36C10X26Q0054 to support patient care delivery across VA Medical Centers nationwide. Automated Cardiac Resuscitators are pneumatically or electrically driven mechanical devices designed to deliver consistent automated chest compressions as a substitute for manual external cardiac compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), suitable for use in both out-of-hospital and in-hospital settings. Prospective vendors must be OEM authorized dealers or distributors providing only new equipment with complete documentation including operation and maintenance manuals, and must submit firm quotes by March 10, 2026, at 10:00 AM EST in five separate volumes covering technical factors, past performance, veterans preference, price, and certifications. The Government will evaluate responses using a hierarchical criteria framework where technical compliance is significantly more important than past performance, which is more important than veterans preference, with all non-price factors combined being significantly more important than price; vendors must achieve at least an "Acceptable" rating on technical factors to be eligible for award. Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) and Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB) receive evaluation preference if SBA certified and meeting federal size standards at both quote submission and award.
