VISN 15 Bed/Mattress Rental

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 (VISN 15) is seeking a contractor to provide rental services for inpatient beds, mattresses, and accessories across nine VA Medical Centers located in Illinois, Missouri, and Kansas. The contractor must deliver, set up, maintain, repair, and pick up all rental equipment while providing 24/7 operator training and support services. Key contract requirements include supplying various bed types—including standard electric hospital beds, bariatric beds with 1,000-pound capacity, critical care ICU beds, air-fluidized therapy beds, and low air loss therapy surfaces—that meet specific technical standards for FDA entrapment compliance, weight capacity labeling, and positioning capabilities. The contractor must process standard orders and deliver equipment within four hours (except air-fluidized beds requiring 24-hour sterilization) and remove items within 24 hours, with all maintenance and repairs included as part of the rental service. The solicitation number is 36C25526Q0263, with responses due by March 23, 2026 at 11:00 AM Central Time, and the primary point of contact is Contracting Officer Jon Lutmer at Jonathan.lutmer@va.gov or 913-946-1118.

This pre-solicitation notice does not specify a set-aside designation, meaning all eligible vendors may compete for the contract award. The notice does not identify any incumbent contractors or provide an estimated award value or budget range. The requirement encompasses multiple inpatient units including ICU, acute care, burn, oncology, orthopedic, neurology, psychiatric, and spinal cord injury units, as well as community living centers and domiciliary units across the nine facilities in the VISN 15 network. The product service code is W065 (Lease or Rental of Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Equipment and Supplies), and the NAICS code is 532490 (General Rental Centers). Interested vendors should note that the VA facilities span a geographically dispersed region requiring comprehensive coverage and logistics capabilities to meet the four-hour delivery requirement for time-sensitive medical equipment needs.
