RFI- Hospital Specialty Beds

The Defense Health Agency has issued a Special Notice (Request for Information) through the Naval Medical Center San Diego (NMCSD) regarding potential procurement of specialty hospital beds and medical equipment. The RFI is designed to conduct market research and determine if responsible sources exist for a future contract opportunity in the hospital furniture sector. Specifically targeting the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code 339113 for Hospital Furniture, Specialized, the notice focuses on small businesses with up to 1,250 employees. The government is seeking comprehensive information about potential suppliers of specialized medical beds and accessories, including various therapeutic and rehabilitation equipment. This market research will help NMCSD assess the feasibility of competitively awarding a future contract or potentially establishing a small business set-aside procurement.

Contractors interested in responding to this RFI must submit electronic responses by 5:00 PM PST on May 29, 2025, to Cheryl.m.mercado.civ@health.mil, with submissions limited to 10 pages. The government requires detailed information including product characteristics, technical specifications, brochures, certifications, and company information for a range of specialized medical equipment such as pulsation therapy mattresses, rehabilitation beds with scales, rotating therapy mattresses, and transfer equipment. Eligible participants are small businesses that can demonstrate capabilities in manufacturing or supplying hospital specialty beds and related accessories. The RFI specifically seeks vendors who can deliver requested items within 3-4 hours, retrieve equipment within 24 hours, provide necessary training, and ensure equipment meets hospital safety standards. It is crucial to note that this is a market research effort only, and no direct contract will be awarded through this RFI; instead, the information gathered will inform the government's future acquisition strategy for potential procurement of hospital specialty beds and medical equipment.
