Supply and Install Pot, Pan and Utensil Washer for KC VAMC (brand name or equal to Hobart PW20)

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is conducting market research (Sources Sought) to identify qualified small businesses—particularly SDVOSBs, VOSBs, 8(a), HUBZone—that can supply, deliver, install, and commission a commercial pot, pan and utensil washer (Hobart PW20 or equivalent) for the Kansas City VA Medical Center. The scope includes removal of existing equipment, installation, start‑up, operator training, and a minimum one‑year parts‑and‑labor warranty. Respondents must provide capability statements, socio‑economic certifications, OEM authorization (if offering Hobart equipment), and details on site‑specific requirements such as utility connections and access constraints. No pricing is requested at this stage; the VA will use responses to shape a future solicitation and may set‑aside the eventual contract for qualified veteran‑owned firms. • Equipment: Hobart PW20‑type pot, pan & utensil washer (commercial kitchen dishwasher) • Services: delivery, removal of existing unit, installation, start‑up, commissioning, training, 1‑year warranty • Location: Kansas City VA Medical Center, Kansas City, MO (contracting office in Leavenworth, KS) • Socio‑economic focus: SDVOSB, VOSB, 8(a), HUBZone, other small‑business categories • Required documentation: company info, UEI/CAGE/Tax ID, small‑business status, relevant federal contract references, OEM authorization letter (if Hobart) • Submission deadline: September 15 2026, 7:00 AM CST (email only) • No site‑visit date is mandated; respondents must comment on whether a visit would be customary.
