Surgical table

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 (Cleveland VAMC) issued an intent to sole source the procurement of surgical tables to STERIS Corporation or its authorized distributor Buffalo Supply, Inc., with a capability statement submission deadline of August 12, 2026 at 5:00 PM EST.

The VAMC seeks two STERIS 7080 General Surgical Tables with BF425 accessory packages, standard accessory packages (2" Anesthesia Armboard Pad and Extra Long Restraint Strap), and installation services (uncrating, inspection, and start-up) for operating room use. The tables feature electrically powered multi-specialty platforms with 1,200-pound patient weight capacity, 22-inch tabletop slide, 45-degree Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg positioning, 25-degree lateral tilt, 130-degree tabletop flex, and dual battery and AC power operation to support general, minimally invasive, bariatric, orthopedic, vascular, cardiac, neurological, gynecological, urological, ENT, and ophthalmic procedures. Delivery is required within 30 days of order receipt.

The justification for sole sourcing rests on the STERIS tables' unique compatibility with existing STERIS operating room equipment and accessories already installed at the facility. Market research conducted August 4, 2026 across GSA Advantage, SAM.gov, ECAT, and other federal databases identified four certified SDVOSB firms under NAICS 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) but none capable of meeting the requirement. The Nonmanufacturer Rule applies with no SBA waiver provided, and the VA Rule of Two could not be satisfied.

Interested parties must submit capability statements via email to rachelle.hamer@va.gov with subject line "RFQ 36C25026Q0808 | Surgical Tables" by the August 12 deadline.
