J065--Guldmann Inspection Patient Lifts

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network 10, specifically the Louis Stokes VA Medical Center, has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to solicit a sole-source contract with Guldmann Inc. for patient lift installation services and inspection of Guldmann patient lifts. The procurement is authorized under FAR 6.302-1, which permits sole-source awards when only one responsible source is available. The contract will fall under NAICS Code 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) and PSC J065 (Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Medical Equipment). This Special Notice was posted on October 23, 2025, and reflects the VA's determination that proprietary and compatibility requirements necessitate contracting exclusively with Guldmann Inc. for these specialized services.

While the procurement is principally targeted at Guldmann Inc., the VA has issued this notice to provide an opportunity for any other responsible sources to submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations that demonstrate their ability to meet the requirements. All interested vendors must submit their responses by October 29, 2025, at 11:00 AM EST via email to Roman Savino at roman.savino@va.gov, who serves as the primary point of contact for this solicitation. There are no specific eligibility criteria disclosed beyond the general requirement that vendors must be capable of performing patient lift installation and inspection services. The final determination regarding whether to proceed with sole-source procurement or consider alternative sources remains solely within the government's discretion based on the responses received by the deadline.
