6515--NX EQ Operating Tables

The Department of Veterans Affairs Strategic Acquisition Center awarded Contract No. 36C10X26P0004 to Skytron, LLC, a small business and the original equipment manufacturer, for the procurement of Skytron operating tables and associated accessories. This firm-fixed-price award, totaling $1,232,120.64, was executed as a sole-source acquisition under the statutory authority of 41 U.S.C. 1901 and FAR Part 12. The procurement was deemed urgent and compelling to prevent surgical cancellations and ensure patient safety at VA Medical Centers in San Francisco, California; Minneapolis, Minnesota; and Ann Arbor, Michigan, following the failure of a previous contractor. The scope of work includes the delivery of Ultra Slide, GS70 Salus Slide, and 6702 electro-hydraulic operating tables, along with compatible pad sets. Due to the critical need to maintain surgical operations and the technical necessity of integrating with existing hospital infrastructure, the contract mandates full delivery within 30 days of the February 2, 2026, award date. There are no options for extension or additional task orders included in this agreement. Price reasonableness was determined through historical data and independent government cost estimates in lieu of competitive bidding.
