Summary (Newest Update)

Background The Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically Network Contracting Office 23, is issuing a Request for Quote (RFQ) for a Nurse Call System to support the Lexington KY VA Health Care System. The goal of this contract is to procure a Brand Name or Equal Rauland Responder 5 Nurse Call System to enhance patient care and communication within the facility. Work Details The contract requires the provision of a Nurse Call System that meets the specifications outlined in the solicitation. Offerors must provide an itemized quote along with sufficient technical supporting documentation to demonstrate compliance with the salient characteristics required by the solicitation. Period of Performance The geographic location(s) the product will be delivered to or performed at. Place of Performance The products will be delivered to the Lexington Veterans' Affairs Medical Center located at 2250 Leestown Road, Lexington KY, postal code 40511, USA. Bidder Requirements Offerors must ensure that their quoted services meet the salient characteristics specified in the RFQ. An itemized quote and adequate technical documentation are mandatory for consideration. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This RFQ appears to have a closely related prior contract for the same type of equipment at the same VA location, with 36C24922P0538 awarded to State Systems for $923,762 (05/26/22–10/31/23). The prior award description indicates a “RAULAND RESPONDER 5 NURSE CALL SYSTEM UPGRADE 2S,” which aligns with the current requirement to procure a Brand Name or Equal Rauland Responder 5 Nurse Call System. The overlap in system model and upgrade/purchase of the same nurse call platform suggests the current effort may be a continuation or follow-on to earlier installation/upgrade work.
