6515--Stryker Medical Mattresses| 646

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 is seeking to procure 100 Stryker ISOFLEX LAL 2860 mattresses specifically designed for Stryker Model S3 EX 3005 beds at the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System. These medical mattresses must feature advanced air-flow technology, gel column design, pressure redistribution capabilities, shear and moisture management, compatibility with Stryker Air Pump systems, and support a safe working load of 500 pounds to enhance patient comfort and promote healing while mitigating bedsores. The procurement will utilize a firm-fixed-price contract structure with delivery requested as soon as possible to avoid disruptions in patient care. Offerors must submit quotes via email by June 27, 2025, at 3:00 PM EST and provide an authorization letter from the Original Equipment Manufacturer. The evaluation will follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable methodology in accordance with the Statement of Need.

This solicitation is designated as a small business set-aside under NAICS code 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) with a size standard of 800 employees, despite initial market research identifying three service-disabled veteran-owned small business distributors including Beacon Point Associates LLC, TrillaMed, LLC, and Academy Medical Inc. The procurement represents a brand name acquisition due to the proprietary nature of the Stryker mattresses and their exclusive compatibility with existing bed infrastructure at the facility. While the total estimated procurement value has been redacted from available documentation, the contract involves 100 specialized medical mattresses with immediate delivery requirements. Performance will occur at the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System, with the contract incorporating Buy American Act clauses and the VA planning to explore future competitive acquisition opportunities and equipment standardization initiatives.
