Hand & Recumbent Cycles - VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System Pittsburgh, PA

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 is seeking qualified contractors to provide specialized cycling equipment for the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System. Specifically, the procurement involves three distinct cycling products: a Top End XLC (Excelerator) Handcycle, a Top End Force G Handcycle, and a Catrike Trail Recumbent Trike. The solicitation is structured as a "brand name or equal" procurement, with strict requirements that only newest and most current models will be accepted, and no refurbished units will be considered. Potential contractors must submit their responses via email to the designated Contracting Officer by March 27, 2025, at 8:00 AM EST. The procurement will be evaluated using NAICS Code 339920 for Sporting and Athletic Goods Manufacturing, with a size standard of 750 employees.

The VA is primarily targeting small businesses for this opportunity, with a specific preference for Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), Veteran Owned Small Businesses (VOSB), 8(a), HubZone, and other small business categories. While a total set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business firms is anticipated, the VA reserves the right to modify the procurement approach if initial responses are inadequate. The solicitation falls under the Product Service Code (PSC) 6515 for Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies. Although specific award values are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, the procurement is focused on acquiring three specific cycling products that will support veterans' mobility and recreational needs. The VA's approach suggests a strategic procurement aimed at supporting veteran-owned businesses while meeting specialized medical equipment requirements.
