7125--Copy of Copy of Equipment: Work Bench Station

The solicitation for workbench stations under contract number 36C24226Q0574 is a total small business set-aside issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs through the 242-NETWORK Contract Office 02 in Albany, NY, with performance required at the Buffalo VA Medical Center. The acquisition is governed by FAR Part 12 for commercial items and uses the SF 1449 form, with a revised response deadline of June 22, 2026, at 4:00 PM Eastern Time. The contract is exclusively reserved for small businesses under the SBA’s Total Small Business Set-Aside authority, and offerors must certify their small business status along with any applicable socioeconomic designations including veteran-owned, women-owned, or HUBZone status, while also providing UEI and CAGE codes as required. All proposals must comply with mandatory contract clauses covering whistleblower rights, labor standards, equal opportunity, human trafficking prevention, sustainable procurement, and electronic fund transfer payments, among others, with deviations applied to several clauses as noted in the solicitation. The scope of work requires delivery of adjustable workstations with specific technical specifications including 1,000 lb load capacity, 27”–42” height range, three preset positions, 5” casters, stainless steel surfaces, Nexus framing, and low-voltage dual actuator controls, to be delivered by September 30, 2026, under FOB Destination terms to the Buffalo VA Medical Center. Inspection and acceptance occur at the delivery site by the Government, with all items required to conform to contract specifications and be free from defects under warranty provisions. The evaluation process prioritizes technical merit, past performance, and price in that order, with award based on a trade-off approach rather than lowest-price technically acceptable, allowing the Government to select the most advantageous offer. Pricing data remains unfilled in the solicitation, and no estimated contract value is available; however, the line items identify specific part numbers and NAICS code 337127 for furniture manufacturing. Packaging follows VAAR 852.247-73 for domestic shipment with adherence to carrier regulations, though detailed marking, preservation, or barcoding standards are not specified. Proposals must be submitted via SAM.gov and include all representations, certifications, and technical documentation as required under FAR 52.212-3 and 52.212-4.
