Philips Telemetry System and Packs

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, specifically the Veterans Integrated Service Network 15, is soliciting quotes for a Philips Telemetry System and Packs for the Kansas City VA Medical Center. The procurement involves a brand-specific healthcare monitoring system that includes a PIC iX Central Monitoring Station, multiple displays, bedside monitors, transport modules, telemetry upgrades, and 40 IntelliVue MX40 portable telemetry packs. The solicitation requires the contractor to be an authorized Philips distributor and mandates system integration with existing Philips monitoring infrastructure, including HL7 interface solutions and ECG waveform capture capabilities. The original response deadline was January 30, 2025, but subsequent amendments have extended the proposal submission deadline to February 7, 2025, at 11:00 AM CST. Evaluation will likely focus on the contractor's ability to meet precise technical specifications and provide a fully compatible telemetry solution.

The contract is set aside as a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) procurement, with Four Points Technology LLC identified as a potential reseller. The acquisition will result in a firm-fixed-price purchase order with a delivery requirement by May 31, 2025. A Sole Source Justification document indicates that replacing the existing system with another manufacturer would cost over $12 million, underscoring the importance of maintaining compatibility. The total system includes 32 line items covering hardware, software licenses, smart hopping coverage, various displays, cables, and installation services. The place of performance is Kansas City, Missouri, and the procurement is part of the 4East renovation project at the VA Medical Center. The contract appears to have significant value, though the exact budget is not explicitly stated in the provided documentation.
