EVOLUTION HOSPITAL BEDS

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through Network Contracting Office 17, is conducting market research via a Sources Sought Notice for the procurement and delivery of hospital beds and safety accessories for the Audie Murphy Memorial Hospital in San Antonio, Texas. This requirement is issued on a brand name or equal basis under FAR 11.104 and FAR clause 52.211-6. The specific procurement includes seven Evolution/RSS/Floor Safety Beds with a minimum safe working load of 850 lbs and emergency battery backup, along with seven right-hand and left-hand foot end side rails and seven patient assist mounts. All products must be manufactured in the USA and be FDA-cleared or listed. Technical compliance requires adherence to IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, and IEC 60601-2-38 standards, including specific bed rail entrapment dimensional criteria and a minimum IPX4 ingress protection rating. As this is a market research effort and not a formal solicitation, the government is seeking capabilities statements from interested businesses, including their SAM registration status, NAICS code 334510, business size, and socioeconomic category to determine potential set-asides. Responses must be submitted to Rafael Rodriguez by November 6, 2026.
