    The Department of Veterans Affairs Cleveland Veterans Affairs Medical Center (CLE VAMC) intends to sole source the acquisition of Hill-Rom Progressa+ mattress/surfaces for its ICU. This proprietary system, offered by Hill-Rom/Baxter, is specifically engineered for critical-care beds to prevent pressure injuries, provide pulmonary therapy, and enable early patient mobility. The Progressa+ system is functionally unique due to its interlocking design with the Progressa bed frame, integrated therapy modes (such as Continuous Lateral Rotation, Percussion & Vibration, and Advanced Microclimate management), and configurable surface families. Substituting a non-OEM mattress would compromise clinical outcomes and void warranties. The VA will negotiate with Hill-Rom/Baxter through an authorized distributor, seeking to preserve clinical benefits and warranty support. Other interested parties must submit their capabilities by December 18, 2025, at 5 PM EST, to Rachelle Hamer at rachelle.hamer@va.gov, citing “RFQ 36C25026Q0166| Hill-Rom Mattress Replacement ICU” in the subject line. This information will determine whether the procurement will be competitive.
