J065--Mobile Lift Preventative Maintenance Services

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 17, is conducting a sources sought notice to identify potential contractors capable of providing annual inspections, preventative maintenance, and service for mobile powered floor-based lifts. The procurement involves comprehensive maintenance services for approximately 101 mobile lifts across 11 VA medical centers and clinics throughout Texas, including facilities in Dallas, Bonham, Fort Worth, Garland, Tyler, Plano, Grand Prairie, Greenville, Sherman, Denton, and Granbury. Contractors must be capable of performing manufacturer-approved inspections, comprehensive testing of lift functionality, documentation of all tests, and providing emergency service calls within 24 hours. The contract structure includes a base year plus four option years, with all annual lift testing required to be completed by September 30, 2026. Interested firms must respond directly to Contract Specialist Sherine Brooks at Sherine.Brooks@va.gov by 4 PM CST on October 14, 2025, providing their company name, SAM UEI number, socioeconomic category, and a capabilities statement.

This opportunity is designated as a set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses under NAICS code 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) and product service code J065. The mobile lifts requiring maintenance include various models such as Molift, Sara Plus, Sara Flex, EZ Way, Denali, Tollos, Inovi, and one pool lift distributed across the multiple Texas locations. The contract period spans five years total with the base year and four option years structure, and the VA anticipates potential increases in lift quantities in future years. Contractors are expected to have manufacturer certification for the specific lift types they will be servicing. This is strictly a market research effort with no formal solicitation currently existing, and the government has made clear that no contract will be awarded directly from this sources sought notice, with the acquisition strategy to be determined based on responses received and other market research efforts.
