6530--CCSC BHIP to Exam Room Conversion

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through the Network Contracting Office 17 in San Antonio, Texas, is conducting market research under solicitation number 36C25726Q0695 to identify qualified small business vendors capable of supplying healthcare furniture for the Corpus Christi Specialty Clinic’s Exam Room Conversion under the VHA IDIQ program. This sources sought notice, issued on July 23, 2026, with responses due by July 31, 2026, is structured as a Total Small Business Set-Aside pursuant to FAR 19.5, and is not a formal solicitation or binding contract. The procurement targets the delivery of 23 Midmark 6213 Mobile Workstations with power mounts and dual monitor support, 17 Krug Karma Patient Guest Chairs in fabric grade 6 (SOF-MAR-07 MARINE), and 17 Helix High Height Chairs with black polyurethane seats and weight-activated casters. All items must meet strict VHA healthcare furniture specifications including scratch- and stain-resistant surfaces, smooth finishes free of hazardous projections, and compliance with NAICS code 337214 for medical furniture manufacturing. Vendors are required to provide detailed manufacturer disclosures, country of origin information, and full SAM.gov registration including their Unique Entity ID and business size certification. A minimum one-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship is mandatory, along with a manufacturer’s lifetime warranty, and all items must be delivered to the Corpus Christi Specialty Clinic for final Government acceptance. Responses must be submitted via email to Contracting Officer Rafael Rodriguez with the exact subject line referencing the solicitation number and may include GSA/VA FSS contract numbers if applicable. The notice explicitly outlines technical compliance expectations, including product model specifications, fabric grades, and finish durability standards, but lacks pricing, contract value estimations, or detailed evaluation criteria such as weighting factors or award basis, as this is solely a pre-solicitation market research activity. No formal inspection, packaging, invoicing, or payment instructions are specified, and while the place of performance is identified as the Corpus Christi Specialty Clinic, the exact delivery address is not provided. Respondents must confirm their small business status and any applicable socioeconomic certifications including SDVOSB, VOSB, 8(a), HUBZone, or WOSB eligibility, though no verification documents are requested at this stage. The anticipated procurement vehicle is an IDIQ contract, and
