About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 20 is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Notice to identify potential contractors for medical equipment storage services. The VA intends to establish a single Blanket Purchase Agreement that will encompass all labor, materials, supervision, quality assurance processes, and other resources necessary to provide comprehensive medical device storage across multiple locations in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. Key service requirements include transportation of medical items between VA facilities and the contractor's storage location, secure climate-controlled storage facilities that comply with manufacturer specifications, regular inspection and maintenance of stored equipment, and timely delivery of items within 72 hours of request. The solicitation seeks vendors capable of storing diverse medical equipment including beds, ventilators, monitors, defibrillators, and various medical protective equipment and consumables. Interested vendors must submit responses by January 30, 2026 at 3:00 PM Mountain Time, with submissions requiring contact information, business size documentation, capabilities description, manufacturer authorizations, and a Unique Entity ID.
This procurement carries no small business set-aside designation, though the VA is conducting market research to determine if the requirement could be set aside for small businesses in the future. The contract will operate under NAICS code 493110 (General Warehousing and Storage) with a small business size standard of $34 million, and the performance period extends from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2031. While specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in this Sources Sought Notice, the scope encompasses multiple VA facility sites across a five-year performance period with fixed hourly transportation rates and per-square-foot storage pricing. The government will evaluate vendors based on their capabilities to meet the full range of storage and transportation requirements, manufacturer certifications, and operational capacity to serve the VISN 20 network. No current incumbent contractor is identified in the notice, and this is explicitly not a Request for Proposal but rather an informational notice for market research purposes only.
