About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 is soliciting removal and replacement of the public address system across the entire Robert J. Dole VA Medical Center campus in Wichita, Kansas, with the solicitation closed and no award to be made as of September 10, 2026. The procurement is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside; only certified SDVOSBs listed in the SBA certification database are eligible.
Place of performance is Wichita, Kansas. The new public address system must be Biamp's Vocia or equivalent, featuring modern design with decentralized zone control, message storage, and self-health monitoring. The system design must include speaker line verification and message delivery verification. Speakers are to be installed at approximately 25-foot intervals throughout corridors and common areas. The contractor must remove all existing system components in phased operations to minimize outages, establish headend locations in each building, install active end-of-line monitoring devices, and integrate the system with existing Notifier fire alarm systems. A dedicated standalone fiber network separate from the enterprise IT infrastructure is required. The project encompasses the campus excluding Building 34 infill but includes Buildings 26 and 60A (new construction).
Performance period is 180 calendar days from notice to proceed (anticipated late October 2026 for April 2027 completion), with work scheduled Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., excluding federal holidays. The contract is firm-fixed-price with no option periods, budgeted at $19 million. A two-year service period from project completion is required, including preventive maintenance with one-hour response time and original equipment manufacturer warranty. Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements apply. The NAICS code is 238210, Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors; PSC code is N059.
Evaluation factors include past performance on relevant public address systems projects within three years, local service provider availability within one hour's drive, five-year manufacturer warranty, certified seller and installer status, and ability to deliver a fully operational system across all campus buildings. Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose offer provides the best value considering price, technical approach, management approach, risk assessment, and personnel qualifications.

Update #1 ·
The goal of this project is to remove and replace the existing public address system across the entire Robert J. Dole VA Medical Center campus. This new system will replace all the components of the public address system. This includes the design, removal of the existing systems, procurement of new equipment, installation, programming, testing, and training to ensure fully functional public address systems at the end of the contract.
The new public address system will be a modern design, fully monitored system capable of decentralized zone control, message storage, and self-health monitoring. The system design must include speaker line verification and message delivery verification. The project will replace the existing fiber backbone for the public address system and will not connect to the existing enterprise network. The system must include all relevant safety and regulatory standards.
Removal of Existing System:
Carefully remove all existing system components, including speakers, microphones, wiring, and control units. The system must be removed and installed in phases to minimize system outages. Ensure safe and efficient disposal or recycling of old equipment according to relevant environmental and safety regulations.
Procurement of New Equipment:
Procure all necessary components for the new public address system, which may include speakers, desktop paging microphones, amplifiers, end-of-line monitoring devices, control units, and message servers. The equipment shall meet all standards for medical and public safety applications. The public address systems shall be Biamp’s Vocia or equivalent. The equipment and proposed layout shall be reviewed by the Medical Center for comment and approval prior to purchase on behalf of the government. If documents are not approved, revisions will be required before approval. The contractor shall provide floor plans with proposed locations for all the equipment. The Medical Center will provide the initial floor plans to the contractor.
Installation of New System:
New Speakers
Speakers are to be installed throughout the corridors and common areas of each building, approximately every 25 feet, ensuring optimal sound coverage.
Establish headend locations in each building to decentralize electronic control, simplifying installation, troubleshooting, and maintenance.
Treat each floor of the buildings as individual zones to prevent issues in one area from affecting others, and provide flexibility for further zoning with additional amplifier channels.
Install and connect the active end-of-line monitoring devices to monitor and report on the health of the speakers and wiring.
Wiring and Cabling:
Install all necessary wiring and low-voltage cabling for the new system, ensuring adherence to electrical codes and standards.
Label and document all wiring and connections for ease of future maintenance and troubleshooting.
System Programming and Integration:
Program the new public address system, configuring zones and message priorities according to the site's needs.
Integrate the system with any existing building management systems, fire alarm systems, nurse call system, or other safety and emergency systems as required.
Testing and Quality Assurance:
Perform rigorous testing of the entire system to verify functionality, sound quality, and reliability.
Conduct end-to-end tests to ensure that messages are delivered accurately and the system self-health monitoring features are operational.
User Training and Documentation:
Provide comprehensive training for facility staff, including manufacturer certification, user-level training, installation training, and administrator-level training for the new public address system.
Supply detailed user manuals, system schematics, and maintenance documentation.
Final Inspection and Handover:
Conduct a final inspection of the installed system in each building to ensure compliance with project specifications and quality standards.
Rectify any deficiencies or issues identified during the final inspection.
Obtain official sign-off from project stakeholders to confirm satisfactory completion of the project.
The contractor will provide a complete commissioning of the system.
Ongoing Support and Maintenance:
Offer a 2-year service period from the date of completion of the project. Equipment warranty as provided by the original equipment manufacturer.
Evaluating Factors:
The following factors will be considered when evaluating the contractor(s) proposals:
Bidding contractors shall be of good standing in with past performance for the government.
Bidding contractors shall have local service providers to support services needs in the future. The service support should be within 1-hour drive of the Robert J. Dole Medical Center.
Five-year manufacturer warranty on all equipment.
Certified seller and installer by the original equipment manufacturer.
