Quick Summary

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically the Eastern Oklahoma VA Health Care System (EOVAHCS), is conducting a Sources Sought inquiry to identify qualified vendors capable of providing USA domestic-made Janitorial Carts and Accessories for the new Tulsa VA Medical Center in Tulsa, OK. This is for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation. Responses will inform future acquisition decisions.

Scope of Work

The VA requires 22 housekeeping carts and a comprehensive set of accessories to support Environmental Management Service (EMS) operations. The carts must be double-tower, feature a large extension base, locking 6-gallon drawer, lockable towers, durable and easy-to-clean copolymer components, quiet operation, silent-close lids, and high-maneuverability casters. They must be compatible with the MIYO accessory system and designed for healthcare environments. Accessories include bag holder frames, 32-gallon trash bags, bag covers, shelving sets, clip/mop handle holders, extension bases, vacuum cleaner holders, and 2-gallon top-down charging buckets with lids. Products must meet or exceed specified "salient characteristics," with OEM part numbers provided as a basis for "brand name or equal" products. Installation is not included.

Submission Requirements

Interested vendors must provide their company name, address, point of contact, and business size classification (e.g., SDVOSB, VOSB, HUBZone, WOSB, Large Business). Respondents should confirm if they are considered small under NAICS 333310, whether they are a manufacturer or distributor, and if they alter/assemble/modify items. Details on existing federal contracts (FSS GSA/NASA SEWP/NAC) and product availability on schedules are also requested. Submissions must include capabilities regarding the Statement of Work and evidence that any "brand name items" meet all salient characteristics. Confirmation that items are domestic end products per FAR 52.225-1 is required.
