The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its 260-NETWORK Contract Office 20, is conducting market research via a sources-sought synopsis to identify potential vendors capable of supplying seven auto-locking hallway carts with drawers for the Portland VA Health Care System. This is not a solicitation, and no contract will be awarded based on responses; the intent is solely to assess commercial availability, gauge vendor capabilities, and determine if the requirement can be set aside for small businesses or other socio-economic programs under NAICS code 339112, with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. The carts must meet detailed specifications including an auto-lock system with key override, plastic top, aluminum mounting tracks, removable colored drawer fronts, power-coated finishes, stabilizing frames with non-marring PVC bumpers, twin push handles, five high-quality swivel casters (two locking), and one-piece wrap-around aluminum construction that is 33% lighter than steel. The product must be FCC Part 15 compliant, ISO 9001-2015 certified, made in the USA, and delivered with freight included to the specified location in Portland, Oregon. Vendors interested in responding must submit a written statement by 3:00 PM Mountain Standard Time on May 7, 2026, electronically to [email hidden], including their point of contact, business size, short description of capabilities, proof of authorized service provider status from the manufacturer, VetCert certification if applicable, Unique Entity ID, and FSS/GSA Schedule information if held. Responses must demonstrate clear and convincing evidence of capability to meet all technical and regulatory requirements. While no formal evaluation factors, pricing details, inspection criteria, packaging specifications, or contract clauses are present—consistent with the pre-solicitation nature of the notice—the agency will use submissions to inform future procurement decisions, including potential contract structure, pricing benchmarks, and small business participation. All responses will remain confidential and will not result in reimbursement for vendor costs incurred in preparing submissions.
