This document provides details for a federal contract solicitation seeking installation of anti-ligature door alarms. The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to solicit bids to award a contract to install suicide deterrent and alarm systems on seventy-five doors across four VA medical centers. The systems must detect the presence of ligatures before pressure is applied, activate visual and audible alarms locally and at remote monitoring panels, and electronically log and store at least the past sixty-four events. Installation is required to take place between January and June 2020 according to the manufacturer's specifications. The solicitation is designated as a total small business set-aside for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, with an estimated value between $500,000 to $1,000,000. The solicitation and specifications will be posted on December 30th, with proposals due thirty days later unless amended. Site visits will be available at each medical center location.
