About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 is conducting market research for the procurement of medical stretchers through a Sources Sought Notice. The agency seeks to procure 8 Stryker Prime Big Wheel Stretchers (30-inch model) with specific requirements including 700 lbs weight capacity, 4-sided brake/steer control, 3-sided hydraulic controls, and numerous optional features such as recovery chair position, dual end siderail release, and integrated pump rack. Interested firms must be registered in SAM and provide company information, performance capabilities, socio-economic status, place of manufacture, and relevant documentation. The evaluation will focus on firms' ability to meet the technical specifications, which include electric functionality, 318 kg weight capacity, low height requirements, power-washable design, and precise dimensional standards. The response deadline is July 15, 2025, with submissions required via email to the contracting officer Manases Cabrera.
This procurement opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified contractors, though the notice specifically encourages responses from veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB/VOSB) who must provide proof of SBA Vet Cert registration. While no incumbent contractors are mentioned, the notice specifies Stryker as the brand name or equal for the stretchers being sought. No budget ranges or award values are disclosed in this market research phase, as this is strictly a sources sought notice and not a formal solicitation. The procurement involves 8 units of each line item, with delivery scheduled to West Haven VAMC in Connecticut, and the government emphasizes that this market research effort does not guarantee future contract awards or obligate the government to issue a solicitation.
