Ceiling Lifts

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 is seeking a contractor to perform annual preventive maintenance inspections of ceiling lifts at three VA medical facilities. The contractor must be certified to inspect ceiling lifts and will provide comprehensive inspection reports for each lift, performing work during normal business hours Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 4:30pm unless mutually agreed otherwise. Offerors must operate under NAICS code 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance), submit three past performance references, and preferably have manufacturer certifications for technicians. The evaluation will consider technical capability and past performance equally with price under a firm-fixed-price contract structure. Critical deadlines include questions due by August 26, 2025, and quotes due by September 5, 2025, at 8:00am EDT.

This procurement is set aside 100% for Veteran-owned small businesses (VOSB) with a size standard of $34 million under the total small business designation. The contract covers 443 total ceiling lifts across three locations: Baltimore VAMC with 167 lifts, Loch Raven CLC with 152 lifts, and Perry Point VAMC with 124 lifts, including various manufacturers such as HANDICARE A-625, HANDICARE C-1000, Waverly Glen models, and LIKO 250 ES units. The performance period runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with all services performed in Baltimore, Maryland. Corrective repairs and parts replacement will be handled under separate orders, with the VA supplying batteries while requiring OEM parts for other components, and the contractor must coordinate with VA Biomedical Engineering upon arrival at each facility.
