6530--CLC Remaining 30 New Bed Project

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 (Network Contracting Office 8), has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole-source delivery order to Maness Medical Inc. for the procurement of Ook Snow Beds under the GSA Federal Supply Schedule. This notice pertains to medical equipment acquisition for the Community Living Center at James A. Haley Veterans Hospital in Tampa, Florida. The procurement is justified under FAR 13.106-1(b) due to the unique and highly specialized nature of the required equipment, with a completed and approved Sole Source Justification on file. While the Government does not intend to conduct competitive procurement, the notice provides an opportunity for interested parties to challenge the sole-source determination by submitting capability statements.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to procure 30 Ook Snow Beds that are fully compatible with the Umano Connect system currently in use at the facility to ensure uniformity and operational consistency across the Community Living Center. The response deadline for capability statements is 4:30 PM Eastern Time on April 27, 2026, and all submissions must be sent via email to Contracting Officer Quentin Ford at Quentin.Ford@va.gov. Interested parties must provide clear and convincing evidence that an alternative source could meet the Government's needs; however, submission does not obligate the Government to conduct a competitive procurement. The contract period of performance runs from May 1, 2026 through June 30, 2026, and the acquisition is classified under NAICS Code 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) with Product Service Code 6530 (Hospital Furniture, Equipment, Utensils, and Supplies).
