Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Network Contracting Office (NCO) 21, is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Notice to identify qualified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) capable of replacing patient elopement systems at the San Francisco VA Medical Center, CA. The project specifically requires the WanderGuard Blue System for integration with existing Vocera infrastructure. Responses are due by April 14, 2026, at 12:00 PM Pacific Time.
Scope of Work
This project involves replacing existing patient elopement platforms across 17 control points (doors) on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd floors of Building 203. The requirement is a limited brand name replacement for the WanderGuard Blue System to ensure seamless integration with the campus's existing Vocera system. The work includes updating head-end equipment and software platforms, while allowing for the reuse of existing cabling and much of the hardware. Utility modifications for power will be handled by others. The contractor must repair any finishes damaged during installation and provide a one-year post-delivery warranty covering all materials, installation, software, and service support.
