Request to bid Hospital Beds and mattresses for DWH

The State of Michigan Department of Corrections issued Request for Proposal 200000000521 on December 16, 2019, seeking to procure hospital beds and mattresses for the Duane Waters Health Center (DWH), a correctional facility in Jackson, Michigan, located in Kalamazoo County. This is a brand-specific procurement requiring three Stryker Spirit Select Base hospital beds (model #5700-100-100) with integrated scale, bed exit alarm, and manual CPR capabilities; three Stryker Spirit Select Mental Health Base beds (model #5700-100-500) featuring lockable control panels and tamper-proof hardware; three Stryker IsoTour gel support surface mattresses (model #2872); and three Stryker ProForm foam support surface mattresses (model #2710) with zipperless covers. The solicitation required bidder questions to be submitted by 1:00 p.m. Eastern on December 20, 2019, with answers posted by 5:00 p.m. Eastern on December 23, 2019, and proposals due by 3:00 p.m. Eastern on January 8, 2020. The evaluation process weights the Statement of Work at 75 percent and the Vendor Questions Worksheet at 25 percent, with only proposals scoring 80 or more points eligible for pricing evaluation. Installation must be completed within three business days of delivery between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. EST Monday through Friday, and the vendor must provide training and ensure full installation, testing, and staff training at no cost to MDOC before acceptance and payment. Pricing must be firm for the entire contract term with all costs including shipping, handling, and installation included in the bid, and payment will be made via Electronic Funds Transfer within 45 calendar days of invoice receipt following final acceptance.

The procurement contains no identified set-asides or restrictions limiting bidder eligibility based on organization type or disadvantaged enterprise status; however, all contractor and subcontractor personnel must undergo security clearance including ICHAT background checks and LEIN clearance by MDOC prior to facility entry, and individuals with felony or misdemeanor convictions (excluding minor driving offenses) will not be permitted facility access. All personnel must complete one hour of mandatory security training covering facility approval procedures, contraband identification, and Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) standards compliance, which apply to all new and renewed contracts with private entities or other government agencies for inmate confinement. The RFP documentation does not identify incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure requiring integration; however, the brand-specific nature of the procurement and explicit prohibition of alternate brands and models indicates that Stryker products are the required solution. No budget range or award value is specified in the available solicitation documents.
