VETERANS AFFAIRS, DEPARTMENT OF.VETERANS AFFAIRS, DEPARTMENT OF.NETWORK CONTRACT OFFICE 19 (36C259) · Response deadline: Fri, 30 Oct 2026
What the government is buying
The Department of Veterans Affairs is soliciting offers for air-powered chiropractic tables to support the Salt Lake City VA Health Care System and its Ogden facility in Utah. VA medical centers frequently use specialized chiropractic tables to provide manual therapy and related treatment services to veterans. These tables typically require pneumatic or air-powered adjustment mechanisms to position patients safely and comfortably during treatment.
The procurement falls under classification code 6515 (Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies) with NAICS code 339113 for Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing. This indicates the government is seeking manufactured medical equipment rather than installation, maintenance, or professional services—though see the solicitation for specific delivery requirements, warranty terms, and any incidental services that may be required.

Who can bid
This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside, meaning only certifiably small businesses under NAICS 339113 may submit offers. For this NAICS code, the Small Business Administration size standard is typically based on number of employees or average annual receipts—verify your eligibility at SBA.gov/using-size-standards/naics or through your SBA profile.
Eligible businesses must also be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) with active registration covering the solicitation period. If you manufacture chiropractic or medical tables, or if you are an authorized distributor with manufacturing sourcing capabilities, you may qualify. The VA generally requires vendors to meet quality standards for medical equipment; see the solicitation for any specific FDA registration, ISO certification, or other credential requirements.
How to put together a competitive bid
Understand the product requirements thoroughly. Air-powered chiropractic tables vary significantly in features—drop mechanisms, elevation ranges, upholstery materials, weight capacities, and control systems. Request clarification through SAM.gov if specifications are ambiguous; deviations from requirements often result in technical rejection.
Price competitiveness matters in simplified acquisitions. Combined Synopsis/Solicitation notices often indicate streamlined evaluation, frequently lowest-price-technically-acceptable (LPTA). Scrutinize the delivery schedule and shipping terms to Salt Lake City and Ogden; freight costs to Utah can substantially affect total evaluated price.
Demonstrate relevant experience. Include past performance references for similar medical equipment deliveries to healthcare facilities, especially VA hospitals or federal customers. Highlight any specialized packaging for medical equipment, white-glove delivery capabilities, or experience with multi-site drop shipments.
Confirm your supply chain. If you are a distributor rather than manufacturer, obtain formal authorization letters and verify lead times. The response deadline allows approximately two weeks from posting—aggressive for manufacturing lead times, suggesting the VA may need quick delivery or off-the-shelf availability.
Prepare required representations. In addition to SAM registration, ensure your Dynamic Small Business Search profile is current, and prepare required FAR provisions regarding small business status, equal opportunity, and veteran-related contracting preferences if applicable.
