Power Equipment for Operating Room

San Mateo Medical Center (SMMC), a public hospital and clinic system in San Mateo County, California, is seeking proposals for Power Equipment for Operating Room through RFP No. 66000-2526-224. The procurement specifically targets power tools for operating rooms, including drills and saws with associated attachments and accessories. Proposals are due by 1:00 pm on November 24, 2025, via an eProcurement system, with a contract term of one year and potential for cooperative use by other organizations. The evaluation will be conducted by a selection committee using a points-based scoring system across four main criteria: Project Approach (30 points), Firm Qualifications (25 points), Team Qualifications (20 points), and Price (25 points). Proposers must meet minimum qualifications, including five years of similar service experience and legal authorization to do business in California. An additional 0-10 preferential points may be awarded to local businesses or non-profits, with extra consideration for small and micro businesses.

The procurement includes several set-aside and compliance provisions that potential vendors must address. Local businesses and non-profits may receive preferential points, and contractors must comply with various county requirements, including the Living Wage Ordinance, HIPAA regulations, and corporate compliance standards. Vendors must adhere to strict vendor access policies, intellectual property guidelines, and provide certifications for fingerprinting and Section 504 compliance. The county reserves the right to accept proposals based on best value rather than lowest price and may reject non-responsive submissions. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the contract appears to be for comprehensive operating room power equipment procurement. Potential vendors should be prepared to demonstrate comprehensive compliance with San Mateo County's extensive contractual requirements, including corporate ethics, healthcare regulations, and administrative policies.
