2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount:
This requirement is for the installation of the Rauland Responder 5 Nurse call system in the recently renovated Physical and Occupational Therapy building at the Columbia VAMC which will be used for outpatient care. The items being requested are L-net term resistor and t-tap module, duty stations, corridor lights, clear station cover, CAT5E PSUM PLENUM PALEGN, cables, connectors, domeless controller, pull-cord sations, staff assist/code station, j-hooks, hardware and 8PN INLINE CON CAT5 CAT 6 and the installation of the system. These parts are critical to the installation of the nurse call system.
Estimated cost:
3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:
The Rauland Borg Responder 5 is the installed nurse call system throughout Columbia VAMC, this will be an addition to the current system for the Physical and Occupational Therapy Department. More importantly the procurement of a new nurse call system would be prohibitive to the Government.
The installation of a new nurse call system throughout the Columbia VAMC Rauland-Ametek formerly Rauland-Borg has provided a Sole Source letter stipulating that South Western Communications, Inc. (SWC) is the only authorized distributor to provide the trained and certified staff to perform the required equipment and services to install the nurse call system for the Harry S.
Truman Veterans Memorial Hospital in Boone County Missouri. SWC is a large business firm that is a provider of equipment, software/hardware and services for Rauland-Borg R5 Nurse Call system.
This proprietary system of Rauland-Ametek requires only certified technicians to install and maintain all components of the complex system. Seeking other unauthorized providers would negate the warranty of the equipment. Rauland-Borg is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of the software and equipment configuration for this service.
