About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network 10, has awarded a sole-source contract to an unknown vendor for replacement patient lift motors at Fort Wayne VAMC on September 13, 2026, with an estimated value of $179,327.79.
The justification cites FAR 13.106-1 and patient safety as the primary rationale. Fort Wayne VAMC operates 28 ceiling-mounted Savaria (Handicare) patient lift systems on the 4th floor; replacing only the lift motors rather than entire systems represents significant cost avoidance—full system replacement across all 28 rooms would cost $677,740.00 ($24,205.00 per room). The procurement specifies incompatibility risk: non-original equipment manufacturer motors could cause power supply mismatches, charging failures, fit incompatibility, and maintenance issues. Market research identified the original equipment manufacturer as Savaria (Handicare-lifts) USA Inc and located three authorized SDVOSB distributors, but the contracting officer determined sole-source procurement appropriate given patient safety constraints.
The contract covers 22 M-CLIN 2F 272KG lift motors, 4 M-BARRI 4F 454KG lift motors, 1 additional M-BARI 4F 454 DHU motor, associated decals, charger holders, screws, carry base assemblies, extended warranty coverage for 27 units, installation labor, and freight on a firm fixed-price basis. Contracting Officer Shelton Beasley approved the justification on July 15, 2026. Place of performance is Fort Wayne, Indiana. PSC code 6530 (Hospital Furniture, Equipment, Utensils, and Supplies).
