Guldmann Ceiling Lift System (Brand Name Only)

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 seeks procurement of Guldmann Ceiling Lift Systems (brand name only) for Harry S. Truman Memorial Hospital in Columbia, Missouri, with proposals due June 23, 2026, at 3:30 PM CDT. This is a sole-source acquisition justified by compatibility with existing Guldmann-compatible rail infrastructure already installed throughout the facility; competing manufacturers' ceiling lifts utilize proprietary geometries and interfaces mechanically incompatible with the existing system.

Place of performance is Columbia, Missouri. The procurement requires two Guldmann Ceiling Lift Systems with integrated patient scales, Safe Working Load of 825 pounds, and non-recessed continuously charging track systems configured 3x4 (10x13 feet or smaller). Line items include two ceiling lift systems, white-glove installation in two rooms on consecutive days with functional testing and scale calibration, and on-site staff training on safe use, weighing functions, and basic maintenance with user manuals. Delivery is required within 60 days of order receipt; installation within 14 days of delivery. Equipment carries a three-year manufacturer warranty on hoists and slings and a 25-year warranty on rails. The vendor must be an authorized Guldmann distributor and submit proof of authorization with the quote. This is an unrestricted, Firm Fixed Price acquisition, FOB Destination. NAICS code is 339113, Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing; PSC is 6515, Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies. Evaluation criteria weigh technical capability and past performance (with references required) significantly more important than price. Technical questions are due June 11, 2026. Amendment 0001, effective June 17, 2026, extended the original offer deadline and provided room dimensions for Procedure Rooms A126 and A122; offerors must acknowledge receipt of the amendment by the deadline.
