What this opportunity is
The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking shower chairs for acute care use at the Bay Pines VA Healthcare System, specifically targeting Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) through a Sources Sought notice. This opportunity allows vendors to propose products that meet specified technical requirements, including a slim design, hygiene features, and a weight capacity of 353 lbs. Interested SDVOSBs should respond with their capability statements, as this notice is for market research rather than a formal solicitation, indicating that tracking responses is essential for potential future bidding.
Analysis by Mindy, grounded in the SAM.gov notice.
Description
Good day, SDVOSB s, VOSB s, SB s
This Sources Sought is issued solely for informational and planning purposes only. It does not constitute the issuance of a solicitation or a promise to issue a solicitation in the future. The purpose of this notice is to conduct market research and obtain information from qualified SDVOSB businesses. This is not a request for bids, quotes, offers, or proposals. The responses to this announcement will assist in determining the socio-economic status such as a SDVOSB set-aside if feasible. If insufficient SDVOSB responses are received to establish the basis for setting this requirement aside for SDVOSB s, the requirement may be solicited as a VOSB or a SB set aside in which case all interested parties responding shall be eligible to compete.
Please direct reply in the affirmative via email if you are interested and can provide the required service/product for this requirement. Please provide your capability statement, I will accept responses for this Sources Sought until the 26th of June 2026 at 14:00 EST, thanks.
