RFI - Patient Elopement System Replacement

San Diego County, in coordination with San Diego City and the neighboring communities of Rancho San Diego CDP and San Diego Country Estates CDP, has issued a Request for Information (RFI) regarding a Patient Elopement System Replacement. This procurement seeks vendor proposals and technical information for replacing an existing patient elopement monitoring system, though the attached addendum relates to an unrelated California Department of Transportation facility improvement project in Los Angeles County involving painting, window, door, and gutter installation services. Based on the RFI posting, the procurement is soliciting information on solutions that would enhance patient safety and security through improved elopement detection and response capabilities. The RFI was posted on March 11, 2026, with a submission deadline of March 31, 2026. Prospective vendors should anticipate requirements that may include system integration with existing healthcare facility infrastructure, real-time monitoring and alert capabilities, user-friendly interfaces for staff, and compliance with relevant healthcare regulations and standards. Key evaluation criteria will likely address system reliability, response time, ease of implementation, vendor support and maintenance capabilities, and total cost of ownership.

The documentation provided does not specify set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions on respondent eligibility for the patient elopement system replacement procurement. No incumbent vendor information or current contractor details were disclosed in the available materials. Similarly, the budget range or award value for this RFI was not included in the posted information. Interested organizations should contact San Diego County directly for complete RFI specifications, technical requirements, and instructions for proposal submission. The RFI format suggests this is an information-gathering phase that may lead to a subsequent Request for Proposals (RFP) or competitive bidding process once vendor capabilities and market solutions have been assessed.
