Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent and/or closely related prior contract based on recent VA awards for the same type of wheelchair pressure mapping equipment. AB Martin Services received contract 36C25626P0700 for an “XSENSOR FORESITE SS TABLET” valued at $43,203 (06/02/26–07/31/26), and Hokte received contract 36C24925P0732 for “FORESITE WHEELCHAIR PRESSURE MAPPING SYSTEMS” valued at $32,717 (08/05/25–12/08/25). The current requirement for an XSensor ForeSite SS wheelchair pressure mapping system (tablet, X4 sensor packs, and associated software/accessories) aligns with these prior purchases and is consistent with a continuation or replenishment of the same product line.
