The James A. Haley Veterans Hospital, through its Haley’s Cove Community Living Center in Tampa, Florida, is procuring 30 electric bariatric medical beds and a comprehensive suite of associated accessories to enhance resident care, improve staff safety, and replace outdated equipment no longer meeting clinical standards. This acquisition, identified under solicitation number 36C24826Q0707, is a Firm-Fixed-Price contract set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), with NAICS Code 339113, and requires all offerors to be certified and verified in the Veterans Integrated Database (VIP) at the time of submission. The contract encompasses not only the delivery of beds but also installation, configuration, and a one-time training session for staff, along with supporting items including air and foam mattresses, overbed tables, IV poles, oxygen bottle holders, communication cables, and installation kits for drainage bag supports. All items must be delivered and installed at the hospital’s warehousing department within 50 days of order receipt, with acceptance occurring upon physical delivery and verification of compliance. The equipment must meet or exceed ANSI/BIFMA X5.5 and BIFMA HCF 8.1 standards for durability and cleanability and be fully compatible with existing clinical and nurse-call systems. Offerors must submit a single PDF quote via email to Quentin Ford, Contracting Specialist, by the deadline of June 5, 2026, at 10:00 AM EDT, and must include a completed SF 1449, UEI, SAM certifications, and verification of compliance with socioeconomic and legal mandates, including prohibitions on subcontracting, kickbacks, and discriminatory DEI practices. Invoicing is required electronically through the VA’s Electronic Invoice Presentment and Payment System via Tungsten Network, and payment will be processed upon delivery and acceptance. Contractually, title transfers to the government upon acceptance, and the contractor provides a warranty that all items are merchantable and fit for their intended use. Evaluation is based on technical acceptability and past performance as pass/fail gates, with award going to the offeror meeting all technical requirements at the overall lowest price. The contractor is obligated to correct any nonconforming items at no additional cost, and the government retains rights to seek equitable price reductions if defects cannot be remedied.
