J049--Centrak RTLS MSA Cancellation of RFQ

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 16 canceled RFQ 36C25626Q1224 for CenTrak Real Time Location System support services on August 28, 2026, effective immediately. The procurement, originally posted August 18 with questions due August 24 and responses initially due August 28, was extended via Amendment 0002 to September 1 before the subsequent cancellation. The Government is reevaluating the requirement and will post a new RFQ; offerors should monitor SAM.gov for the reissued solicitation.

The original opportunity was a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services) with a size standard of $34 million, PSC J049. Place of performance was the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center in Houston, Texas, with work to be completed within twelve months from award during standard business hours (Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–6:00 PM CST).

The RFQ required contractor provision of remediation, optimization, and expansion of the existing CenTrak RTLS to support clinical operations across the main hospital and Community Based Outpatient Clinics. Deliverables included software and hardware upgrades to OEM-supported versions, infrastructure optimization, mandatory battery replacement and health programs for all tags and infrastructure devices, comprehensive testing and validation with minimum performance metrics (95% room-level accuracy, 98% tag availability, 99% infrastructure uptime), and system integrations via OEM-supported APIs. The contractor was required to be OEM-certified by CenTrak with at least two years of RTLS experience, maintain active SAM registration, and comply with VA security, privacy, and cybersecurity requirements. Award was to be made on an LPTA basis to the lowest-priced technically acceptable responsible offeror. Service Contract Act prevailing wage determinations applied to Texas counties including Harris County.
