About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 has awarded a sole-source contract to Guldmann Incorporated for patient lifts and installation at the Robert J. Dole VA Medical Center in Wichita, Kansas, with an estimated value of $799,950.
The acquisition includes purchase of 12 additional Guldmann GH3+ overhead patient lifts with motors, continuous charge track systems, hanger bars, and slings, plus installation and structural load testing of 29 existing Guldmann lifts currently stored in the facility's warehouse, together with project management services. The justification cites FAR 13.5 and 41 U.S.C. 1901, determining only one responsible source exists and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The rationale rests on mechanical and operational incompatibility: alternative manufacturers (Arjo, Handicare, Savaria, EZ Way, Etac/Molift, and Vancare) create unacceptable safety risks and operational disruptions when integrated with the existing Guldmann infrastructure. Market research identified only one authorized SDVOSB dealer—Premier Medical Distributors, LLC—preventing application of the VA "Rule of Two." The nonmanufacturer rule applies because lifts are manufactured in Denmark with no class waiver available under NAICS 339113. A sources sought was conducted May 29 to June 4, 2026, with two vendors responding. Work is coordinated with the project's Construction General Contractor under Contract 36C25521C0012 for a two-phase construction project in the Community Living Center.
