Defibrillator Purchase for the Cherokee National Forest, TN

The contract solicitation 12444026Q0065 calls for the procurement of a comprehensive suite of portable medical devices for the Cherokee National Forest in Cleveland, Tennessee, to support emergency medical teams during wildland fire responses, prescribed burns, and post-hurricane recovery operations. The equipment must be lightweight—under ten pounds—and capable of operating in rugged, remote terrain, with full compatibility with Zoll X Series platforms and support for critical monitoring functions including 12-lead EKG, non-invasive blood pressure, SpO2, end-tidal CO2, cardiac output, and body temperature. The core deliverables include a Masimo Rainbow DCS device, Zoll AED with REDI-PAK Adult PADs, Zoll X Series accessories such as batteries, cables, carry cases, thermal paper, and an AC adapter, along with an adult airway adapter and resuscitation electrodes. All items must be delivered within 14 days of order receipt to the specified delivery address in Cleveland, Tennessee, and acceptance is contingent upon full compliance with technical specifications upon arrival at the destination. This is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 622110 with a size standard of 1,500 employees, and only qualifying small businesses may submit offers. The award will follow a Lowest Price, Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, meaning proposals must first pass a threshold technical review based on strict adherence to all equipment requirements, after which the lowest-priced compliant offer will be selected. Contractors must certify compliance with federal anti-discrimination laws and specific DEI prohibitions under AGAR clauses 452.203-70 and 452.203-71, and ensure all personnel requiring site access comply with PIV standards per HSPD-12 and USDA LincPass requirements. The contract is firm-fixed-price, with no pricing data provided in the solicitation—prices must be submitted by offerors as part of their response. Packaging, marking, and preservation specifications are not detailed in the available documentation, and invoicing procedures or payment office details are not specified, though delivery is directed to the USDA Forest Service location in Cleveland, Tennessee. Failure to meet any technical requirement, DEI certification, or delivery timeline may result in rejection or termination.
