Supply of Midmark 626 Exam Chairs (Vendor-Specific Manufacturing)

The contract authorizes the manufacture and supply of nine Midmark Model 626 Exam Chairs under sole source procurement due to the proprietary nature of the design and critical compatibility requirements with existing medical infrastructure. This procurement is justified by the specialized engineering and integration needs that prevent substitution with alternative models or vendors, ensuring seamless interoperability with current systems at Department of Veterans Affairs facilities. The work is being conducted through a subcontract mechanism under the 262-NETWORK Contract Office 22, with the North American Industry Classification System code 337214 indicating classification within medical equipment manufacturing. All units must be produced to exact Original Equipment Manufacturer specifications to maintain safety, performance, and warranty integrity within VA clinical environments. While no set-aside type or specific place of performance is indicated, the procurement is managed by the Department of Veterans Affairs through its designated contract office, and the opportunity was posted on September 23, 2025, on SAM.gov. The sole source designation underscores that only Midmark or its authorized manufacturing partner can fulfill the technical, regulatory, and interoperability demands of this requirement.
