Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically the Eastern Colorado Health Care System, is conducting a Sources Sought / Request for Information (RFI) to identify qualified vendors capable of providing a Three Bay Reprocessing Sink. This market research aims to inform future acquisition decisions and identify potential sources for this equipment at the Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center in Aurora, CO. Responses are due by February 16, 2026, at 14:00 Mountain Time.
Scope of Requirement
The VA requires an adjustable Three Bay Reprocessing Sink with various accessories, specified as "Brand Name or Equal." This equipment is crucial for processing Reusable Medical Devices (RMD) and must be designed for ergonomic use, instrument protection, and effective pre-cleaning. Key features include tailored custom basins, factory assembly, pegboards, height-adjustable shelves, ergonomic wrist rests, volume indicator etching plates, various sprayers and dispensers, and integrated accessories like a keyboard/monitor arm and task light. All equipment must be new, with a manufacture date no more than two years prior to the purchase order date. Installation is required at the Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center. Vendors must also provide service manuals, maintenance requirements, and part lists.
Submission & Contract Details
This is a Sources Sought announcement, not a solicitation or request for proposals. Interested vendors must submit written responses electronically to eric.adusei@va.gov with the subject line "SOURCES SOUGHT" by February 16, 2026, at 14:00 Mountain Time. Submissions should include:
- Business size.
- Place of Manufacture for the equipment.
- Point of contact information.
- Responses to specific checkboxes regarding business practices (e.g., employee count for NAICS 339113, retail/wholesale engagement, ownership of items, and small business manufacturer end item status). Delivery of the sink is expected within 30 days of award, with no partial shipments. A manufacturer's warranty, covering travel and shipping for repairs, is required.
Eligibility & Set-Aside Considerations
The primary NAICS Code for this requirement is 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing), with a size standard of 1000 employees. Vendors are asked to indicate their business size and confirm if they meet specific small business criteria, particularly for NAICS 339113 (if applicable). An active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) at www.sam.gov is mandatory for all offerors. Buy American clauses (52.225-3 and 52.225-4 Alternate II) are applicable.
