About this file
This file is Amendment Four to solicitation 36C26226Q0506, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) San Diego Healthcare System (VASD), NCO 22 - Mesa Annex, in response to contractor questions regarding a digital wayfinding system procurement. The amendment extends the question submission deadline to April 13, 2026, at 1:00 PM MST, and the offer submission deadline to April 20, 2026, at 1:00 PM MST, with offers to be submitted via email to Felicia Simpson, Contract Specialist. The solicitation requires contractors to sign clause 852.219-75 VA NOTICE OF LIMITATIONS ON SUBCONTRACTING-CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE FOR SERVICE AND CONSTRUCTION and submit all documentation from Section E and acknowledgment of all amendments.
The digital wayfinding system scope includes installation of 16 touchscreen displays (47"-65") across four VA facilities: the main Jennifer Moreno Medical Center in La Jolla (6 floors, approximately 900,000 square feet), Kearny Mesa Outpatient Clinic (2 floors, 100,000 square feet), Chula Vista Outpatient Clinic (2 floors, 37,000 square feet), and Oceanside Outpatient Clinic (2 floors, 66,000 square feet). Installation must begin before June 30, 2026. Key responsibility divisions establish that VASD provides power at installation locations while the contractor is responsible for network cabling setup, materials storage, installation labor, design expertise assessment, and interface design discussions. The contractor must accommodate mounting on drywall and tiled walls and incorporate VA branding (navy blue color and logo per va.gov). Questions and answers clarify that floor plans will be provided by VASD, the total number of destinations will be determined post-award during design, multiple active construction projects exist at facilities but do not impact wayfinding locations, and contractors may propose WiFi hotspot solutions for data connectivity. This is a firm fixed-price requirement with no advance payments or progress payment provisions.

36C26226Q0506 Question and Answers
1) Can you provide photographs of the installation locations?
ANSWER: We can mark the locations on the plan drawing.
2) Can you describe the types of walls the screens will be mounted to? I.E. CMU, drywall with metal studs, drywall with wood studs, brick?
ANSWER: Mostly dry walls and some locations with tiled walls.
3) Will the screens be mounted in Landscape or Portrait format?
ANSWER: The VA San Diego Healthcare System will rely on the contractors' expertise to assess and provide professional recommendations to determine the optimal orientation. As noted in the Statement of Work (SOW), the design must comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.
4) You mention a range for screen size of 47"-65". Will you require different sized screens for different locations? Should screen size be standardized for all 16 installation locations?
ANSWER: The VA San Diego Healthcare System will rely on the contractors' expertise to assess the space and provide professional recommendation to help the facility make an informed decision. 65” are most likely going near the main entrances and 47” for other locations.
5) Is there any branding, color pallet, or logo placement that should be incorporated into the design of the screens?
ANSWER: Yes. Similar navy blue color and logo as seen on the main VA website: https://www.va.gov/ shall be used as a starting point for design.
The contractor shall have design discussion sessions with VASD for interface design. VASD will be relying on the contractor's design expertise.
6) Will power and data connections be available at each installation location?
ANSWER: Power will be VASD’s responsibility. Cabling and network set up will be the contractor’s responsibility.
7) Will the installer be able to utilize the dumpster, compactors, or recycling facilities at each installation location? Or will they be responsible for hauling away all packaging material?
ANSWER: No. Contractors are responsible for their housekeeping. Note that at the main La Jolla Medical Center contractors shall only use the service elevators.
8) Can the screens be received at each facility prior to installation? Or can they be received at a central location? Or will the installer be responsible for bringing the screens to each installation location?
ANSWER: The contractor is responsible for safely storing their materials and tools. No materials, screens, or tools shall be left or stored on-site unsupervised at any time. VASDHS is not responsible for the storage, damage, or loss of any items left at VASDHS's medical center or clinics.
9) Can you clarify the expected time frame for issuing a PO and the desired installation date for the 16 screens?
ANSWER: The PO will be issued once the contract has an award. Installation shall begin before June 30th.
10) Will floor plans, CAD drawings, or other layout documentation be provided for these locations?
ANSWER: VASD can provide archived floor plan drawings (CAD/PDF). Locations are still being finalized by end users. Generally expected areas include main entrances and lobbies. The VASD will also rely on contractors' expertise to assess the space and provide professional recommendations on this matter.
11) Question 6 of the initial RFI response notes that power will be the responsibility of VASD, while cabling and network setup fall to the contractor.
a. Will both power and data be available at the installation locations?
b. Or will the contractor be responsible for extending power and data to each location?
ANSWER: Network cabling set up will be the contractor’s responsibility. Power will be VASD’s responsibility.
12) Are there any active construction projects underway at these facilities? If so, who is serving as the General Contractor?
ANSWER: There are multiple active construction projects under different contractors. Pathfinding screen locations are not affected by these constructions.
13) Pg 39 of the SOW requires all items to be delivered by 5-01-2026, however, per RFI response #9 the work is to be performed between 6-30-2026 and 7-31-2026. Further RFI response #8 states that the contractor is responsible for all tools and materials at all times. What is to be delivered on 5-01-2026?
ANSWER: The PO will be issued once the contract has an award. Installation shall begin before June 30th.

15. To provide an accurate estimate, I need to confirm whether power and data connections are available at each wayfinder location. If these connections are not in place, we will need to run power and data from a nearby junction. This adds installation time and changes the scope significantly. If new lines are required, we will also need drawings that show the source and destination points.
ANSWER: VASD is responsible for making sure there is power at the installation locations. Data is contractor’s responsibility.
16. If power is available but no data connection exists, WiFi may be an option, provided the signal strength meets your internal IT standards. This can be applied selectively by location if needed.
ANSWER: According to our research there would be no need for data cabling because each unit should use hotspot. VASD will rely on the contractors' expertise to assess and provide professional solutions.
17. Please confirm whether the contracting officer will include FAR 52.232-29, Terms for Financing of Purchase of Commercial Products.
ANSWER: Contracting will not include FAR clause 52.232-29, Terms for Financing of Purchase of Commercial Products as the government does not provide advance payments performance‑based financing, progress payments, loan/security arrangements and this is a firm fixed price requirement.
18. Is it your intention to integrate this existing tool onto the Touchscreens? Or replace this tool with a new interactive wayfinding system?
ANSWER: No. VASD does not have an existing pathfinding. This is a new system to be implemented.
19. What is the total square footage of the VA facilities that would have to be mapped if you desire a new interactive wayfinding system?
ANSWER: Below is our best estimate:
VASD- La Jolla Jennifer Moreno campus map: 1,600,000 sqf VASD – Kearny Mesa Outpatient Clinic 100,000 sqf VASD – Chula Vista Outpatient Clinic 37,000 sqf VASD – Oceanside Outpatient Clinic: 66,000 sqf
20. VASD- La Jolla Jennifer Moreno campus map: 1,600,000 sqf Is this the square footage of all buildings on campus, or just the main facility that you want scanned? In the responses you indicated that you needed a campus map, but that only one facility needed to be scanned for wayfinding (below). I want to confirm that the floors 1-6 make up the 1.6 M sqf. Or is this the entire campus? And if so can we get just the square footage that we will be providing wayfinding for?
VASD – Jennifer Moreno Medical Center (Main Hospital)
| • | Campus Map Required: Yes |
| • | Total Buildings in Scope: 1 |
| • | Floors per Building: 6 |
| o | Building Name – # of Floors: Building 1- 6 floors |
ANSWER: The La Jolla campus is 1.6 million sqf and needs to be scanned. Building 1, the main hospital, consists of six floors and occupies approximately 900,000 square feet. Additional patient services are provided in other buildings on La Jolla campus, such as Buildings 11 and 25. While pathfinding displays must include information for all buildings on the campus, the pathfinding displays will be installed in the main hospital.
