The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Miami Healthcare System has issued a Special Notice indicating its intent to negotiate a sole source contract with 911INet LLC for radio communication equipment and services. The VA is seeking to acquire Push-to-talk over Cellular (PoC) service that will allow VA Medical Center staff to use mobile phones as walkie-talkies with unlimited range, enable single-button access to talk groups, and provide half-duplex communications.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to inform the public of the VA's intent to award a firm fixed-price contract, potentially with a base period plus four option years, to 911INet LLC under the simplified acquisition procedures in FAR 13.106-3(b)(3)(i). The VA has determined that 911INet LLC is the only responsible source that can meet the agency's requirements.
