Physical Therapy Equipment _Seeking Domestic Manufactured Equivalent

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 is conducting market research for physical therapy equipment specifically for the VA San Diego Healthcare System. The procurement seeks domestic manufacturers of two items: the Equalizer Legacy 1000 5 Station Gym (FM-9223-87640), a multi-station weight training apparatus that supports up to 8 concurrent users including wheelchair users, and the Equalizer Dip Rickshaw (FM-9223-78794) with a 300 lb weight stack and customizable resistance levels. The agency requires only new, original equipment manufacturer items that comply with Buy American Act requirements, strictly prohibiting used, refurbished, gray market, or counterfeit equipment. Responses must include company details, business size information, contact information, an OEM Authorization Letter, and a Buy American Act Certificate of Compliance. The deadline for responses is 8:00am on August 27, 2025, with NAICS Code 339920 determining business size standards.

This sources sought notice does not indicate any set-aside designation and is structured as market research only with no guarantee of subsequent contract award. No current contractors or incumbents are identified in the documentation. The notice does not specify award values, budget ranges, or quantities beyond the two distinct pieces of equipment being researched. The procurement timeline focuses on the immediate market research phase, with the brief response window of six days from posting to submission deadline indicating urgency in gathering manufacturer capability information. The emphasis on domestic manufacturing suggests this procurement aligns with federal requirements for supporting U.S.-based production capabilities in government acquisitions.
