6530--Psychiatric Beds

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) San Diego Healthcare System is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) and Sources Sought Notice to explore potential suppliers of specialized psychiatric beds for VA medical facilities. Specifically, the VA is seeking one-piece, water-resistant psychiatric beds with unique safety features such as universal removable restraint brackets, minimal ligature points, floor-fastening capabilities, and tamper-resistant mattresses. The procurement targets vendors in NAICS code 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) with a size standard of 800 employees or less. Interested vendors must submit a detailed capabilities statement addressing 19 specific questions by March 17, 2025, at 4:00 PM Pacific Time. The evaluation will focus on vendors' manufacturing and distribution capabilities, compliance with VA subcontracting limitations, Buy American Act conformance, FDA clearances, and potential leasing options.

The procurement does not currently have a specific set-aside designation, indicating the opportunity is open to a broad range of qualified vendors. While the specific brand of interest is the RYNO Twin Bed (1RYA-100-MG) in Moonwalk Gray with Taurus foam mattresses, the RFI suggests the VA is conducting comprehensive market research to inform its acquisition strategy. The solicitation (36C26225Q0638) will be managed by Contracting Officer Deronte Reid, with all communications to be conducted via email at deronte.reid@va.gov. The RFI responses will be archived for 30 days following the response date and used exclusively for market research and acquisition planning purposes. Vendors are expected to provide comprehensive information about their company size, federal contract schedules, and ability to meet the specific psychiatric bed requirements outlined in the solicitation documents.
