NNCC Nurse Call Equipment

The Nevada Department of Corrections (NDOC) is seeking a vendor to provide and install a comprehensive nurse call equipment system for the Northern Nevada Correctional Center's Regional Medical Facility, specifically targeting Unit 8 Wing B. The procurement, identified as RFP 44DOC-S3176, involves supplying and implementing Rauland Responder 5000 equipment, which includes 41 push button stations, 9 corridor lights, 4 visual stations, multiple adapters, connectors, and approximately 7,000 feet of Cat5E cable. The project requires installation of high-security, vandal-resistant call buttons in forty cells and one shower, with integration into existing head-end equipment. Evaluation criteria will assess vendors across multiple dimensions: demonstrated competence (30%), experience (20%), conformance with RFP terms (10%), key personnel expertise (10%), and cost factor (30%), with a 5% preference given to Nevada-based businesses. Key dates include a February 26, 2025 solicitation release, March 5, 2025 deadline for questions, March 10, 2025 submission deadline at 2:00 pm, and an estimated contract start date of May 13, 2025, subject to Board of Examiners approval. Vendors must be registered in sam.gov, possess a Nevada business license, and comply with comprehensive state and federal regulations.

Respondents must navigate strict security requirements, including completion of the Nevada Department of Corrections Contractor Security Regulations Acknowledgement Form and a PREA (Prison Rape Elimination Act) Contractor Questionnaire. Background checks will be mandatory, and contractors must adhere to zero-tolerance policies regarding sexual misconduct. While no specific set-aside designations beyond the 5% Nevada business preference are mentioned, vendors must demonstrate compliance with equal employment opportunity and non-discrimination regulations. The solicitation does not specify an exact budget range, but the comprehensive materials list and equipment specifications suggest a significant infrastructure investment. Contractors will need to provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including Commercial General Liability with a $2,000,000 aggregate limit and $1,000,000 per occurrence, and maintain coverage from licensed Nevada insurers with an A.M. Best rating of at least A-VII. The contract is expected to have a four-month term, with the state reserving the right to select the vendor deemed most advantageous to its interests.
