Description

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Non-Expendable Equipment National Program has identified the Rapid Cook Ovens product line as a candidate for a VA-wide (otherwise referred to as “national”) single Requirements contract award.

The Rapid Cook oven is an oven that utilizes one or more non-traditional heat transfer technologies to cook food products significantly faster than would be possible using conventional (e.g., convection, conduction, radiant) heat transfer technologies. Heat transfer technologies that may be employed include microwave, quartz halogen, and high-velocity or impingement convection.

The Contractor must demonstrate the ability to meet all requirements for the solicitation. The objective is to provide Rapid Cook Oven to be used by food service personnel throughout the VA medical centers and facilities located in the Continental United States (CONUS) or Outside of the Continental United states (OCONUS).
