Wound Bariatric Chair

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, specifically Veterans Integrated Service Network 22, is conducting a Sources Sought Notice (RFI) for a specialized Wound Bariatric Chair to be procured for the Northern Arizona VA Health Care System in Prescott, AZ. The medical chair requires extensive technical specifications, including electric power height adjustment ranging from 19" to 34", a 550lb lifting capacity, electric power tilt/Trendelenburg functionality, full reclining capability, and multiple accessory features such as contoured back and seat, fold-up armrests, adjustable stirrups, and side rails. The RFI seeks to gather market research information from potential qualified vendors, with responses requested by April 7, 2025, at 4:00 PM PST. Respondents must provide detailed capabilities statements, business size status, compliance information, potential pricing, lead times, FDA clearance details, and federal contract vehicle information. The solicitation uses NAICS code 339112 with a size standard of 1,000 employees, and responses should be submitted via email to contract specialist Hayley Nuno.

There are no specific set-aside designations for this procurement, and no incumbent contractors are mentioned in the documentation. While a precise award value is not specified, the RFI indicates this is a planning-stage market research effort to understand potential vendor capabilities for a future procurement. The chair will be procured for the Northern Arizona VA Health Care System, suggesting a single-location purchase. Vendors are expected to demonstrate their ability to meet the comprehensive technical requirements, with particular emphasis on medical-grade equipment specifications, manufacturing capabilities, and compliance with federal procurement standards. The procurement timeline suggests potential award could occur in the months following the April 7, 2025 response deadline, though the RFI explicitly states this is not a formal solicitation but a market research initiative to inform future procurement strategies.
