GRCA AED REPLACEMENT

The contract concerns the replacement of 65 Physio-Control LifePak CR2 Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) at Grand Canyon National Park under a firm-fixed-price commercial solicitation designated as a total small business set-aside. The procurement is justified as a sole-source acquisition under FAR 6.302-1(c) due to the exclusive compatibility of the LifePak CR2 with existing park emergency equipment, including cardiac monitors in ambulances and patrol vehicles, which rules out alternatives from Philips, Zoll, or other vendors. The contractor must deliver fully new, factory-sealed units, each equipped with adult and pediatric electrodes, a lithium battery, inspection tags, CPR Ready Kits, carry cases, and window decals, along with an option to trade in 60 end-of-life AEDs without warranty. Delivery is required by July 1, 2026, at 3 Clinic Rd, Grand Canyon, AZ 86023, with performance confined to the specified period between June 1 and July 1, 2026. All payments must be processed electronically via the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform, and no other invoicing systems are authorized. The contracting office is located in Flagstaff, AZ, with Jessica Owens serving as the primary contracting officer and James Thompson as the technical point of contact. The contract incorporates numerous FAR clauses with multiple deviations effective as of early 2026, including enhanced security requirements for contractor information systems and prohibited access to government facilities without proper clearance. Compliance with anti-trafficking, whistleblower protection, and DEI discrimination prohibitions is mandated through specially modified clauses, along with strict adherence to Buy American Act requirements and prohibitions on contracting with inverted domestic corporations. Small business participation is central, as the solicitation is fully reserved for small businesses under FAR 19.5, though no offeror has yet submitted size certifications or UEI/CAGE codes. The technical specifications and brand name justification are mandatory attachments, affirming the non-competitive nature of the procurement. Inspection and acceptance are expected at the delivery site, with units required to be new, functional, and fully compliant with product specifications. No formal evaluation factors or pricing data are disclosed, as the solicitation remains open for quotes, and no contract value has been established. All submissions must be sent to the physical office address in Flagstaff, with no electronic proposal portal specified, and no page limits or formatting rules are provided.
