Adjustable Hospital Bed for ASMP

The Georgia Department of Corrections issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the procurement of adjustable hospital beds to support Augusta State Medical Prison's Health Services department located at 3001 Gordon Highway, Grovetown, Georgia 30813. The solicitation, designated as Event Number 46700-GDC0001164, sought 15 units of adjustable hospital beds featuring waterproof mattresses and attached side bed rails, with mandatory delivery and installation services at the specified location. The procurement prioritized award to the lowest responsible bidder with the fastest delivery time, and evaluation criteria included unit pricing, total project cost, delivery timeline, compliance with technical specifications, and adherence to contract terms. The bid closing date was August 6, 2025, with bid tabulation completed on August 8, 2025, and the Notice of Award issued on August 12, 2025. Procurement Officer Vickie M. Stewart of the Georgia Procurement Division administered the sourcing event, with end-user authorization provided by Debra Passmore of ASMP Health Services. Prospective vendors were required to submit complete pricing proposals with payment terms, delivery schedules, and specification confirmations or documented deviations.

Four vendors participated in the competitive bidding process, with Valor Elite Supply LLC selected as the successful offeror at a fixed contract award amount of $28,410.00 for the supply and installation of 15 Costcare Model B333 Heavy Duty Long-Term Acute Care Low Beds at $1,894.00 per unit. The award was determined based on Valor Elite Supply LLC's combination of lowest unit pricing and competitive 4-week delivery timeline, while competing bids from Greg Han ($2,200.00 per unit with 2-week delivery) and Kim Gilbert Global Group ($2,324.85 per unit with 4-week delivery) were rejected as they did not meet the low bid requirement. The contract documents do not specify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or incumbent vendor preferences applicable to this procurement. The award amount of $28,410.00 represents an estimate, as this was structured as an open agency contract, and all protests regarding the award must be submitted electronically to doas.protests@doas.ga.gov in accordance with Georgia Procurement Manual procedures.
