Description

The intent of this notice is to inform the contracting community that the Government intends to enter into a sole source contract for services to "Upgrade Nurse Call System" to include fire alarms connected to nurse call system at the Huntington VA Medical Center. The Huntington VA Medical Center is located at 1540 Spring Valley Dr. Huntington, WV 25704 and has a need to upgrade their nurse call system on floors 1, 2, & 3 to tie into their Rauland IV Nurse Call System on floors 4 & 5. Rauland-Borg is the manufacturer of the nurse call system and UTC Edwards is the manufacturer of the fire alarm equipment. The fire alarm equipment must be upgraded at the same time. The Medical Center has an active Rauland IV nurse call system on two of their floors and needs to have the same standard system throughout the entire facility. The purpose of the integrated facility-wide nurse call system is to ensure that if a nurse or other staff member travels outside of their care area and a call is initiated, that care giver will receive a call and respond accordingly. If the nurse call system is not compatible in all areas of the hospital, care givers outside their areas could miss patient calls, which could endanger patient safety. Electronic Specialty is the only local authorized distributor and installer for the Rauland Nurse Call System and UTC Edwards Fire Alarm System in the Huntington, WV area. The Rauland Nurse Call System is the only system that will allow for full interoperability with all components of the existing nurse call. Introducing another manufacturer's phone or resource location system would cause frequency interference with the currently installed systems. As a result, the Government intends to award a contract to Electronic Specialty for these services on a sole source basis. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition for this procurement is 10 U.S.C.(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2), Only one (1) responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. In accordance with FAR 6.302-1(b)(1), agencies are permitted to utilize this authority contingent upon a reasonable basis existing that the agencies minimum needs can only be satisfied by unique supplies or services available from only one source or only one supplier with unique capabilities. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation that will be issued; a separate written solicitation will NOT be issued via Federal Business Opportunities. This notice is not a request for competitive quotes. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government shall consider all proposals and information received by 4:00PM EST, June 5, 2012. Information received shall be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether a competitive procurement is a viable option. No solicitation document exists and not telephone inquiries shall be accepted. Information can be sent to katrina.cruz@va.gov.
