Updated Notice - Amendment to Solicitation

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 20, located in Vancouver, Washington, has issued an amendment to solicitation 36C26026Q0337. This Special Notice announces modifications to an existing government procurement opportunity related to medical and surgical instruments and equipment. The amendment was posted on February 13, 2026, and pertains to safe patient handling and mobility services or equipment at the Boise VA Medical Center. The original solicitation has been amended to extend deadlines and introduce new requirements for interested contractors. This opportunity falls under NAICS code 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing) and PSC code 6515 (Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies).

The primary purpose of this amendment is to extend the proposal closing date from February 18, 2026, to March 4, 2026, at 10:00 AM PST and to establish a mandatory on-site visit requirement for interested offerors. The on-site visit is scheduled for February 24, 2026, at 10:00 AM PST at the Boise VA Medical Center, Building 85, room 236, where VA personnel will provide escorted tours of relevant locations. Contractors are limited to sending one to two representatives per organization to the on-site visit, and all technical questions must be submitted by February 26, 2026, at 10:00 AM PST. No specific eligibility restrictions are mentioned in the amendment; however, contractors should be prepared to discuss their safe patient handling and mobility solutions during the site visit. The extended timeline provides interested parties with additional opportunity to prepare their proposals and conduct necessary due diligence before the March 4 deadline.
