2590--VR&E Accessibility Lift for Agricultural Equipment

The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking to procure a Life Essentials LifeLyfts Tractor Platform Lift and a Life Essentials LifeLyfts Frame Mounted Running Board Lift for Fullsized Trucks. The equipment is required to support an approved VR&E Employment Plan and must meet the accessibility requirements of a veteran beneficiary. The procurement is justified as a brand name item due to the lack of acceptable alternatives. The Indiana Agrability Program recommended the equipment based on their expertise and familiarity with agricultural equipment capable of meeting the beneficiary's needs. Some key points to consider: • The equipment must be compatible with the veteran beneficiary's existing equipment. • The equipment must have a local OEM-Authorized Dealer to provide servicing and assistance. • The procurement is in support of an approved VR&E Employment Plan. • The equipment must meet the accessibility requirements of the veteran beneficiary.
