Real Time Location System (RTLS)

The Real Time Location System (RTLS) Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a single-award vehicle issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for integrated Real Time Location System solutions. The contract encompasses comprehensive technology implementations including hardware, software, documentation, and incidental services for VA enterprise users. Specifically, the RTLS contract enables the deployment of advanced tracking and monitoring systems across various Veterans Integrated Services Networks (VISNs), supporting critical infrastructure modernization efforts within VA medical facilities.

The task orders under this IDIQ primarily focus on designing, installing, configuring, and testing RTLS systems across multiple VA regions, with typical task order values ranging from approximately $1 million to $30 million. Most task orders are firm fixed-price contracts and have been consistently awarded without specific small business set-asides. The task orders frequently involve implementing RTLS technologies for asset tracking, temperature monitoring, workflow optimization, and facility-specific technology integrations across different VISNs, including VISN 1, 5, 8, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23. Performance locations appear concentrated at VA medical centers, Consolidated Mail Outpatient Pharmacies (CMOPs), and national data centers, with implementation and support services designed to enhance operational efficiency and technological capabilities across the VA healthcare system.
