Description
The James H. Quillen VA Medical Center is seeking to purchase a 40 cubic yard liquid sealed container to replace a failed San-i-Pak container. The container must meet or exceed the physical, functional, and performance requirements of the existing San-i-Pak container and be compatible with the equipment currently on campus. The container should be made of steel components, have reinforced corners, heavy-gauge steel walls and floors, and rust-inhibiting primers for longevity. The procurement will be a brand name or equal, and contractors must provide clear evidence that their equal items meet all requirements.
Key features of the required container include:
• Made of durable, high-grade steel
• Reinforced corners and heavy-gauge steel walls and floors
• Rust-inhibiting primers for longevity
• Thoroughly welded in-seams for structural integrity
• Customization options such as drainage holes, lockable lids, and specific wall heights
The VA is considering a total set-aside for Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses, but may determine an alternate set-aside or full and open competition if there are insufficient responses.
