IVHM FY22 Patient Lifts

The state of Illinois, specifically the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, is procuring battery-operated total body patient lifts with integrated digital scales. The procurement is for five (5) units that must meet detailed technical specifications, including an all-steel construction frame, three-position leg spreader, baked epoxy powder-coated paint, and a lift range of 42.5 inches with a weight capacity of 500 pounds. The request for quotes (RFQ) specifies that vendors must submit their responses electronically through the BidBuy system, and the quotes must remain valid for 180 days. The agency reserves the right to reject any or all offers and to award the contract in part or in whole based on the lowest total bid for all products. The RFQ includes COVID-19 protection requirements for vendors, including the use of face coverings, vaccination, or testing.

The contract opportunity does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent vendor or current contractor is not specified. The budget range or possible award value is also not provided, but the procurement is for five patient lift units. Vendors must agree to the State of Illinois' standard certifications and terms and conditions, which cover a wide range of compliance requirements, confidentiality, insurance, and other standard contractual provisions.
