This document is a sole source justification for a software maintenance agreement for a nurse call system. The Department of Veterans Affairs VISN 23 Omaha Medical Center requires a base plus two-year software maintenance agreement from Electronic Sound Inc. to provide all patch installation, bug fixes, and software updates for the proprietary Rauland Responder 5 nurse call software located at the Omaha and Grand Island VA Medical Centers and the Papillion VA Community Living Center. The estimated cost of the agreement is $144,300. Market research found that Rauland only authorizes its local dealer Electronic Sound Inc. in the Nebraska area to provide service maintenance agreements for its proprietary software.
