Description

Page 17 of 17 Description This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial products and services prepared in accordance with the format in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 12.6, Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and Solicitation for Commercial Products and Services, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested, and a written solicitation document will not be issued. This solicitation is issued as RFQ 36C24123Q0916. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2023-03. This solicitation is set-aside for SDVOSBs. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 333241 Food Product Machinery Manufacturing, with a small business size standard of 500 employees. The FSC/PSC is 7320 Kitchen Equipment and Appliances. The Department of Veteran Affairs, VISN 01, VA Bedford Healthcare System has a requirement for: one (1) Dishwasher, Flight Type (1) Dishwasher, Pot/Pan/Utensil/Door Type (1) 4 Year Extended Warranty for Aforementioned Dishwashers (1) Waste System Pulper (1) Soiled Breakdown System. All interested companies shall provide quotations for the following (detailed item description on the SOW): Statement of Work SCOPE OF REQUIREMENT The Department of Veteran Affairs, VISN 01, VA Bedford Healthcare System due to numerous factors has a requirement for: Dishwasher Flight Type, Waste System Pulper, Dishwasher Pot/Pan/Utensil Door Type and Soiled Breakdown System The objective of this task order is to procure one (1) Dishwasher, Flight Type (1) Dishwasher, Pot/Pan/Utensil/Door Type (1) 4 Year Extended Warranty for Aforementioned Dishwashers (1) Waste System Pulper (1) Soiled Breakdown System. A new, properly functioning dishwasher will ensure clean/sanitized service ware that is used to provide meals to our Veterans. The current dishwasher requires frequent repairs for temperature issues and leaks. The significant amount of water leaking from the equipment increases the potential for slips and falls by employees working in that area and creates an attractive environment for pests. Replacing the current machine with a new machine will eliminate these issues.
