The VA needs a small business to upgrade 25 ceiling lift systems at the Bedford VAMC.
Key Details
- What exactly do they need? The VA needs 25 ceiling lift systems upgraded at the Bedford VAMC. The lifts must be able to lift at a speed of 2.2 inches per second or better and come with a scale that measures the weight of the patient. One of the rooms requires a trainer module feature for gait training in rehabilitation.
- What's the contract structure and timeline? This is a firm fixed price contract with a single visit to complete the installation. The contractor must provide a detailed structural design and drawing document for each room prior to installation.
- How will they pick the winner? The VA will evaluate the proposals based on the technical and past-performance factors.
- When and how do you bid? The bid deadline is July 13, 2026, and proposals must be submitted through SAM.gov.
