Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount:
Annual Service and Maintenance for the VASNHS Patient Elopement and Wandering (PEW) System. This system reduces patient elopement and increases safety and care of patients. This system integrates with RTLS (Centrak, Inc. proprietary software and system).
Total= $87,368.99
Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:
The VA currently utilizes RTLS setup by Centrak, Inc.. Centrak is the only vendor capable of performing integration with RTLS within the VA due to the proprietary and contractual nature of RTLS. The PEW System at the VASNHS is an extension of RTLS and is proprietary in nature to Centrak. The interoperability between these two Centrak owned systems is proprietary and requires Centrak to provide necessary licensure and hardware to provide support.
Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:
Market research was conducted to see if Centrak has proprietary rights to their software licensure and maintenance for the Centrak PEW system. According to the contractor, CenTrak Security Solutions, Patient Elopement and Wandering solution, including software, middleware and hardware is developed and owned exclusively by CenTrak. Support and Maintenance of Centrak Security Solutions is provided only by CenTrak, Inc..
