Request for Information response for 36C24720Q1152, Vocera Communication

Question: a platform that has offerings similar to Vocera. We provide secure texting, alerts, alarms, and voice calling. We do not offer hands-free devices, but we have successfully deployed with other shared devices (Spectralink, Zebra’s, etc.)

Has the decision for hands-free devices, specifically with Vocera, already been made?

Answer: Vocera’s proprietary communication solutions are based upon a software platform. Through this platform, it delivers secure, integrated, intelligent communication of voice, text, alarms, alerts and clinical information to the appropriate person based on their role, group or location, regardless of the device they are using. Vocera is software platform, profile-based (not device based) and this set up delivers secure voice, text, alarms and clinical information from VA systems (seamless integration) regardless of location via wi-fi. It can also integrate with VistA/CPRS, nurse call and physiologic monitoring systems. There is no other product that does what Vocera does regarding wi-fi capable and cell capable communications that is also FIPS 140-2 certified for use on VA networks. No other system is hands-free operations and voice controlled. No other system uses logarithmic solutions for interface with multiple disparate systems and devices and then combines and assembles said data into a single package using advanced routing rules giving the user instant access to actionable patient information – securely.

2. Or would Halo be welcomed to submit a proposal?

Answer: 36C247-20-Q-1152 is a SDVOSB set-aside.

3. All terms and conditions shall remain the same.
