Domestic Manufacturing of Medical Chairs (Subcontract via Nonmanufacturer Rule)

The contract concerns the domestic manufacturing of mobile surgical chairs under a subcontract arrangement governed by the FAR 52.219-33 nonmanufacturer rule, which requires the awardee to maintain small business status and ensure all production occurs within the United States. The product is intended for distribution through a prime contractor, with compliance strictly tied to small business qualification and U.S.-based fulfillment to satisfy federal procurement requirements. The NAICS code 339113 classifies the work under medical equipment and supplies manufacturing, emphasizing specialized production of mobile surgical furniture designed for healthcare settings. The opportunity is administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs through the Network Contract Office 19 with a place of performance located in Cheyenne, Wyoming, with a 82001 zip code. The solicitation was posted on June 23, 2026, and responses must be submitted no later than July 7, 2026, at 6:00 PM Eastern Time. While no set-aside type is specified, the reliance on the nonmanufacturer rule ensures that only eligible small businesses capable of U.S. manufacturing can compete, making the requirement for domestic production and verified small business status central to eligibility and contract performance.
