About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for the expansion of Vocera Software Wireless Communication Systems at VA Atlanta Healthcare System facilities under Veterans Integrated Service Networks (VISN) 7. The procurement includes 826 wireless communication badges, badge configuration workstation, software licenses, maintenance and support services, extended warranty, and professional services to enable hands-free, voice-activated communication for medical staff. The sole source justification is based on the brand name requirement to ensure compatibility with existing VA infrastructure already in place across VISN 7 facilities, as the Vocera system offers unique features including FIPS 140-2 compliance and proprietary software integration with existing nurse call systems and VA health information systems. ALVAREZ LLC was awarded the firm-fixed-price contract valued at $2,007,509.09 under NASA's SEWP V Government-Wide Acquisition Contract. The contract duration runs from September 30, 2025, through September 29, 2026, with a maximum three-year warranty period, and the procurement was competed among Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) concerns within the SEWP V framework.
