6515--Stryker Medical Stretcher Mattresses | 646

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 is procuring 40 Stryker ISOFLEX SE FIRE BARRIER Mattresses for the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System through solicitation 36C24425Q0794. These mattresses are specifically required to support previously purchased Stryker Model S3 EX 3005 stretchers and maintain the manufacturer's warranty coverage, with the procurement necessitated by fluid infiltration discovered during routine mattress inspection that would otherwise render 40 stretchers unusable. The contract will be awarded as a Firm-Fixed-Price arrangement using lowest price technically acceptable evaluation methodology, requiring all parts to be new OEM items with no refurbished or used components permitted. Vendors must submit quotes via email to Melvin Moore at melvin.moore2@va.gov with a copy to benjamin.villasenor@va.gov by August 21, 2025, at 3:00 PM EDT. Questions must be submitted no later than August 14, 2025, and all quotes must include an authorization letter from the Original Equipment Manufacturer, completed Standard Form 1449, pricing schedule, and delivery schedule.

This procurement is set aside for small businesses under NAICS code 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) with a size standard of 800 employees, and the VA has identified three Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business authorized distributors as potential sources. The total estimated value is $79,186.00 for the 40 mattresses (Product #1806034300), representing approximately $1,979.65 per unit. The mattresses feature proprietary airflow technology and gel support systems with warranty provisions of 10 years for foam and gel components and 3 years for the mattress cover and air pump. Delivery is requested as soon as possible to the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System's Biomedical Engineering department. The procurement aims to maintain system-wide consistency while ensuring compliance with VA patient care standards for pressure ulcer mitigation and avoiding disruption to critical patient care services.
