About this file
This document is an Addendum Three for Solicitation 121453 O5, issued by the Nebraska Department of Veterans' Affairs for Nurse Communication Devices at the Central Nebraska Veterans Home. The solicitation seeks a comprehensive procurement of 110 smart screen and 45 non-screen communication devices to replace the current DiGi system, with integration requirements for the existing Rauland V Nurse Call System. The electronic solicitation is scheduled to open on 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 anticipated to span four years, with options for two additional two-year renewal periods.
The addendum provides critical details about the current technological environment, including 107 active badges with a potential census of 132, and clarifies that the Nebraska Department of Veterans' Affairs will manage the servers using Windows Server 2019. The evaluation process will allocate 100 points across Corporate Overview (25 points), Technical Response (55 points), and Cost Sheet (20 points), with potential additional points for oral interviews. While no specific budget range is disclosed, the solicitation suggests potential preferences for Nebraska vendors, resident disabled veterans, or businesses in designated enterprise zones. The procurement requires comprehensive documentation, including shop drawings, submittals, warranty documents, and as-built drawings, with pricing expected to remain fixed for the initial two years.
