RFI : Automatic Door Replacement (Hospital Entrances)

Granville Health System (GHS) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) seeking qualified automatic door manufacturers, distributors, and service providers to support the replacement of automatic entrance doors at four hospital access points: Main Front Entrance, Emergency Department Entrance, Loading Dock Entrance, and an optional EMS Entrance. The procurement seeks comprehensive recommendations for door assemblies, operators, sensors, and control systems, with a focus on high-traffic, continuous-duty rated sliding door systems that comply with ANSI/BHMA A156.10, UL 325, and ADA standards. Key objectives include coordinating on-site vendor visits, obtaining equipment recommendations, gathering installation requirements, and collecting budgetary pricing data to support a planned capital purchase in April 2026. Vendors must provide detailed company information, technical specifications, lead time expectations, installation considerations, and service/maintenance offerings. All site visits must be completed by December 25, 2025, with the primary point of contact being Zeb Barnette, Project Manager, who can be reached at zbarnette@granvillemedical.com or 336-504-0068. The RFI emphasizes that this is an information-gathering process only, and no award will be made directly from these submissions.

The RFI does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. There are no indications of incumbent vendors or mandatory technology integration requirements mentioned in the documentation. While the document does not provide a specific budget range, it indicates that the capital purchase is planned for the first or second quarter of 2026, with April 2026 noted as a target date. The procurement seeks comprehensive solutions that can integrate access control and security systems, with vendors expected to provide detailed pricing for equipment, installation, sensors, and control packages. The scope involves replacing door systems at multiple hospital entrance points, suggesting a potentially significant investment in facility infrastructure. Vendors are required to demonstrate capabilities in providing high-performance door systems that meet healthcare facility standards, with a focus on durability, accessibility, and operational efficiency. The RFI suggests that GHS is seeking a comprehensive solution that goes beyond simple equipment replacement, looking for vendors who can provide holistic recommendations for modernizing their entrance systems.
