DA01--RFID RTLS 36C10B25Q0263 Amendment 1 (VA-25-00025829)

The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center is seeking to procure a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Real-Time Location System (RTLS) for Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 9, specifically for implementation at the Robley Rex VA Medical Center in Louisville, Kentucky, with potential future expansion to additional medical centers within VISN 9. The project involves developing a comprehensive RFID solution for tracking non-expendable equipment valued at $300 or more, requiring room-level location accuracy of 95%. The contractor will be responsible for site assessments, hardware and software provisioning, system design, installation, user interface development, asset tagging, testing, training, and warranty services, with the system required to integrate with existing VA inventory management systems including AEMS/MERS and Maximo. However, this pre-solicitation notice indicates that the previously posted Request for Information (RFI) 36C10B25Q0263 has been canceled, with the original response deadline having been April 15, 2025. The procurement falls under NAICS code 541512 for Computer Systems Design Services and PSC code DA01 for IT and Telecom Business Application/Application Development Support Services.

The original RFI was specifically set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), requiring that contractors could not pay more than 50 percent of the contract amount to non-SDVOSB firms. No current incumbents or contractors are identified in the documentation, and no specific award values or budget ranges are disclosed. The draft Performance Work Statement outlined a 12-month base period with two option years, with the total contract period not to exceed 48 months. The primary implementation site is the Robley Rex VA Medical Center, with anticipated expansion to additional medical centers in Kentucky and Tennessee within VISN 9. The system must comply with extensive VA information security and privacy requirements, though specific quantities of equipment to be tracked or detailed budget parameters are not provided in the available documentation.
