AI Contract Overview

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its VHA Regional Procurement Office Central, Network Contracting Office 10, plans to award a firm-fixed-price contract for additional ceiling lifts at the Columbus VA Ambulatory Care Center. This single-award contract will be given to an authorized Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business distributor that provides the best value, specifically those authorized to distribute Guldmann equipment. Guldmann is identified as the sole manufacturer capable of meeting the VA’s requirements for the GH3+ Patient Lift System, a solution already in use within the VA Central Ohio Healthcare System. Continuing with this manufacturer ensures consistency in stocking disposable items, maintaining training standards, and conducting necessary biomedical testing, which would be disrupted if alternate brands were introduced. This procurement is conducted under the Multiple Award Schedule Program according to FAR regulations and statutory authorities that support competitive procedures among executive agencies. The contract is categorized under NAICS code 339113, with a small business size standard of 750 employees. The notice serves to inform potential interested parties and is not a solicitation for proposals, but stakeholders may submit written expressions with supporting evidence by a specified deadline, which the government will review at its discretion. The contracting officer for this action is Gina P. Crank, who can be contacted via email, with no telephone inquiries accepted. The government acknowledges that competition would be beneficial only if clearly demonstrated by respondents, otherwise the acquisition will proceed as a sole-source action.

Full Description

The Department of Veterans Affairs, VHA Regional Procurement Office Central, Network Contracting Office 10, located at 2780 Airport Drive, Columbus, OH 43219 intends to award a single-award, Firm-Fixed-Priced Contact to the authorized Vendor that offers the Best Value to the VA. Interior Fusion and Vets Access LLC are the authorized Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) distributors for the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Guldmann. The acquisition is conducted under authority of the Multiple Award Schedule Program; FAR Subpart 8.405-6(b) Items Peculiar to one Manufacturer. The primary statutory authorities for the MAS program are 41 U.S.C. 152(3), Competitive Procedures, and 40 U.S.C. 501, Service for Executive Agencies. It is the Government s belief the proposed candidate is the sole manufacturer capable of meeting the requirement. The associated North America Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 339113 and the Small Business Size Standard is 750 employees. It is the Government s belief that the proposed candidate is the only source with the required capabilities to successfully meet the requirement for the GH3+ Patient Lift System. Guldmann Ceiling lifts have been installed in many places throughout the VA Central Ohio Healthcare System. We currently stock all the disposable items for the existing units. Going with another manufactures brand would cause the VA to have to carry double supplies for the slings and each sling would require different handle configurations depending on the person being picked up.

This notice satisfies the requirement at FAR 5.201(b)(1), to publicize the proposed contract action. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. No solicitation documents are available at this time. Interested parties may give written notice to contact@example.gov by 5:00PM EST on July 30, 2021.

Inquiries shall be emailed to contact@example.gov. No telephone requests will be accepted. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government in future procurements.
