Acquisition Plan Action ID: 36C250-26-AP-2774
1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs. Network Contracting Office 10 (NCO 10), 24 Frank Lloyd Wright Drive, Lobby M, Suite 2200, Ann Arbor, MI, 48105 in support of VISN 10, Dayton VA Medical Center (VAMC) at 4100 W. Third St, Dayton, OH 45428. The purchase request (2237) number for this acquisition effort is 552-26-2-121-0047.
2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: NCO 10 proposes to award a new Firm-Fixed-Price order to Span-America Medical Systems, Inc., Unique Entity Identification (UEI) KJL5WJ23J7V9, or an authorized offeror providing the product of the approved source, for ten each new Control Units (P/N 27686) for POD A of the Dayton VAMC Community Living Center (CLC). The Control Unit is the high-performance digital pump required to activate the active therapeutic modes of the Span-America Custom Care Convertible Low Air Loss (LAL) mattress series. By connecting the control unit to the mattress system, it provides consistent Low Air Loss (LAL) and alternating pressure therapies to treat Stage I-IV pressure injuries. Span America part number 27686 is a modified version of Span America part number 8410. These devices have shorter footboard attachment hooks and shorter power cords to plug directly into the bed. This modification is necessary to use the mattresses with the Umano bed frames currently in use by the Dayton VAMC.
The estimated value of the proposed action is $ 19,547.70 using Department of Veterans Affairs funds.
3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:

The official Span America powered control unit designed for the Custom Care Convertible series must be used to upgrade the mattress from a non-powered surface to an active low-air-loss, alternating pressure, or lateral rotation system. The mattress air channels, internal Star Chamber design, and Air Diffusion Matrix rely specifically on Span America’s engineered airflow and pressure metrics. The system uses custom quick-connect, color-coded, gender-matched air lines that require the official Span America control
