This Request for Information (RFI) is issued for planning and information-gathering purposes only and does not constitute a binding solicitation, meaning responses cannot form a contract. Key requirements include demonstrating experience with similar VA contracts, providing a technical approach summary not exceeding six pages, assessing the adequacy of the draft Product Description, and recommending existing contract vehicles for procurement. The evaluation criteria focus on vendor qualifications, technical capability, relevant VA experience, and the feasibility of implementation within the specified cloud environment and compliance framework. Responses to the RFI are due by March 3, 2026 at 11:00 AM Eastern Time and should be submitted to Contract Specialist Ana Subashi at ana.subashi@va.gov; non-response to this RFI does not preclude participation in any subsequent Request for Proposal.

The procurement involves implementation and hosting of the branded InvisALERT solution across eight hospital units totaling 52 beds at Bay Pines VA Healthcare System, with hardware deliverables including 42 iPad Mini 6 tablets, 72 reusable wristband beacons, charging stations, and storage infrastructure. The base contract period is 12 months from award with four optional 12-month renewal periods exercisable at the Government's discretion. Deliverables and services include full implementation, training, EHR system integration via HL7 messages or PDF feeds, 24/7/365 technical support with a 3-hour response time for trouble tickets, weekly status reports, comprehensive testing, and quarterly performance reporting. No specific budget range or incumbent contractor information has been disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice.
