Surgical Drill Driver

Washington State University's Veterinary Teaching Hospital is conducting a Request for Proposal (RFP #9-TC30624) to procure two surgical drill drivers and related accessories for small animal surgical procedures in Whitman County, Washington. The procurement seeks specific technical equipment with detailed minimum specifications, including a drill speed of 1,300 rpm or greater, torque of 6.0Nm or greater, weight of 800g or less, and a non-autoclavable, non-nickel-based battery. Deliverables include two drill drivers along with accompanying accessories such as battery housings, sagittal saw attachments, keyless chucks, style A/O attachments, pin attachments, batteries, sterile battery transfer covers, instrument cases, and a four-capacity battery charger. The university requires only new equipment, explicitly excluding refurbished items, and reserves the right to conduct a one-week demonstration period with the apparent successful bidder. Proposal submissions are due by February 13, 2025, at 4:00 PM PST, with vendors required to provide formal quotes including lead time and estimated insured shipping costs. A Drill Saw Sports 400 is referenced as a comparable model meeting the minimum specifications.

Washington State University demonstrates a preference for and encourages responses from Washington certified Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprises (MWBE), though no strict set-aside is mandated. Vendors must complete and submit comprehensive Certification and Assurances forms, which include 12 key certifications covering proposal truthfulness, independent price determination, non-collusion, and compliance with Washington wage laws. Payment terms are established as Net 30, with vendors required to comply with specific state regulations including RCW 28B.10.019 and RCW 39.26.160. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the procurement involves multiple line items for surgical equipment and accessories. Vendors must provide detailed product information, completed certification documentation, and meet all specified technical requirements to be considered responsive. The university maintains flexibility in the procurement process, including the ability to return demonstration units, accept equipment, or confirm orders for remaining bid materials based on their evaluation of the submitted proposals.
