REQUIREMENT OVERVIEW
The purpose of this Statement of Need is to outline the specifications and responsibilities in relation to the provision, integration, and implementation of hospital bed replacement at VA Medical Centers within Veterans Integrated Service Networks (VISNs) 1, 2, 4 and 5. The VA facilities shall require removal of the existing hospital beds (as needed) in the below locations, and installation and implementation of the new replacement beds and applicable equipment. The Vendor shall provide all necessary tools, equipment/hardware, installation, maintenance, warranty, and training in accordance with this SOW.

The primary goals are to achieve enhancement of patient safety, standardization, safety protocols, reduction in labor, and overall improvement of patient care. In addition, these beds will expand the capacity and capability of current clinical workflow, improve patient safety and handling, increase patient satisfaction, and provide consistent and reliable end user experience at point of care.

Critical Care DEFINITION: An powered adjustable hospital bed is a device intended for medical purposes that consists of a bed with a built-in electric motor and remote controls that can be operated to adjust the height and surface contour of the bed. The device includes movable and latchable side rails as well as surfaces (i.e., mattresses). Integratable with multiple bed accessories.

Critical Care INTENDED USE: General-purpose powered adjustable hospital beds are used for an adult patient on an inpatient critical care unit for resting and sleeping, and also during recuperation and/or medical treatments (e.g., alternating pressure).

Medical/Surgical DEFINITION: An powered adjustable hospital bed is a device intended for medical purposes that consists of a bed with a built-in electric motor and remote controls that can be operated to adjust the height and surface contour of the bed. The device includes movable and latchable side rails as well as surfaces (i.e., mattresses). Integratable with multiple bed accessories.

Medical Surgical INTENDED USE: General-purpose powered adjustable hospital beds are used for an adult patient on an inpatient hospital and/or extended care unit for resting and sleeping, and also during recuperation and/or medical treatments (e.g., alternating pressure).

Bariatric DEFINITION: A bariatric powered adjustable hospital bed is a device intended for medical purposes that consists of a bed with a built-in electric motor and remote controls that can be operated to adjust the height and surface contour of the bed. The device includes movable and latchable side rails as well as surfaces (i.e., mattresses). Integratable with multiple bed accessories.

Bariatric INTENDED USE: General-purpose powered adjustable hospital beds are used for a bariatric adult patient on an inpatient unit for resting and sleeping, and also during recuperation and/or medical treatments (e.g., alternating pressure).

Long-Term Care DEFINITION: A powered adjustable extended care bed is a device intended for care purposes that consists of a bed with a built-in electric motor and remote controls that can be operated to adjust the height and surface contour of the bed. The device includes removable and latch-able side rails as well as surfaces (i.e., mattresses). Integratable with multiple bed accessories.

Long-Term Care INTENDED USE: General-purpose powered adjustable extended care beds are used for an adult patient on an extended care unit for resting and sleeping, and also during recuperation and/or medical treatments.

All equipment shall be new, state of the art, and not recertified nor refurbished.
