About this file
This document is Solicitation Addendum Three for the Nebraska Department of Veterans' Affairs' Nurse Communication Devices procurement, addressing a comprehensive technology replacement project for the Central Nebraska Veterans Home. The solicitation seeks to procure 110 smart screen and 45 non-screen communication devices, replacing the current DiGi system while integrating with existing Rauland V Nurse Call System and patient care reporting systems. The electronic solicitation is scheduled for August 12, 2025, at 2:00 PM Central Time, with a mandatory project site visit previously held on July 16, 2025. The contract term is structured for four years, with potential options to renew for two additional two-year periods.
The addendum provides critical technical and operational details, including the current deployment of 107 active badges with a potential census of 132, server management by the Nebraska Department of Veterans' Affairs using Windows Server 2019, and confirmation that electronic health record (EHR) integration is not currently planned. The procurement process involves a comprehensive evaluation methodology allocating 100 points across Corporate Overview (25 points), Technical Response (55 points), and Cost Sheet (20 points), with potential additional points for oral interviews. The solicitation suggests potential preferences for Nebraska vendors, resident disabled veterans, or businesses in designated enterprise zones, and requires vendors to provide detailed documentation including shop drawings, submittals, warranty documents, and as-built drawings.
