RFI Biomedical Equipment Maintenance & Repair

The Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to gather input from the business community to inform the development of a future solicitation for biomedical equipment maintenance and repair services. The RFI, posted on October 13, 2025, aims to collect detailed feedback on various aspects such as service capabilities, emergency repair response times, parts inventory management, tracking systems, technician training and certification, billing procedures, and potential barriers to participation. The deadline for responses is October 29, 2025, and the information provided will be used to shape the specifications of a forthcoming solicitation. It is important to note that submitting responses to the RFI does not obligate the state to award a contract, and all responses will become part of the public record under the Public Disclosure Act. Following the RFI process, DSHS plans to establish a contractual agreement with a qualified vendor for biomedical equipment maintenance and repair services. The final contract will specify the scope of work, performance standards, and legal terms, including definitions, amendment procedures, and billing limitations, in accordance with applicable state laws and regulations. The contract is expected to cover multiple DSHS facilities across Washington, with a project budget estimated between one million and one and a half million dollars. The contract will include contact information for both parties, and the process will involve detailed provisions to ensure service quality, compliance, and accountability throughout the contract period.
