The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 awarded Siemens Industry, Inc. a $363,000 firm fixed price purchase order to convert pneumatic controls to direct digital controls at the Malcolm Randall VA Medical Center in Gainesville, Florida. The contract is in response to a special notice of intent to sole source the requirement to Siemens, as no other contractors identified the ability to meet the agency's needs by the specified deadline. Under the contract, Siemens will replace outdated pneumatic controls systems with new direct digital controls, helping the VA medical center upgrade critical facility infrastructure and better serve veterans in North Central Florida. Performance is to be completed at the Gainesville location by July 2022.
