5830--Danville Nurse Call System [Brand Name or Equal]

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 is seeking to procure a brand name or equal nurse call system for the VA Illiana Health Care System located in Danville, Illinois. The procurement aims to replace the current Rauland nurse call system across multiple buildings (Buildings 58-2, 58-4, 98-1, 98-2, 101-7, and 101-8) with an enterprise-capable system that can link multiple sites on one database and provide centralized monitoring capabilities. The system must include specific technical features such as enterprise-level communication, real-time dashboards, analytics, PIV authentication, and comprehensive patient and nurse station functionalities, along with anti-ligature stainless steel high security stations and dome lights. The contract will be evaluated using the lowest price technically acceptable method, and vendors must comply with VA information security requirements while providing a minimum 5-year warranty with onsite service within 2 hours of call. The solicitation deadline has been extended to August 26, 2025 at 11:59 PM CDT, with a site visit having been scheduled for August 14th.

This procurement was originally designated as a set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), though the current notice indicates no set-aside is being used. The current incumbent appears to be Rauland, whose system is being replaced across the healthcare facility. Key quantities include 112 enhanced pillow speakers, 6 branch regional controllers, 7 nurse call consoles, 9 staff terminals, 118 corridor lights, and 81 pull cords spanning approximately 300 linear feet across six separate systems. The procurement also requires compliance with subcontracting limitations where contractors cannot pay more than 50% of the government contract amount to non-SDVOSB or non-VOSB entities. Performance will take place at the VA Illiana Health Care System in Danville, Illinois, with the server located in Building 104 Room 128B, and the buildings connected by linkways to facilitate system integration.
