The intended contract period of performance is for a base year with four (4) one-year option periods and is based on FAR 52.232-18 Availability of Funds. Description of Services: The contractor shall furnish all labor, transportation, parts, test equipment, tools, and expertise necessary to provide, install and implement a Real Time Location and tracking Systems (RTLS) solution at VA facilities as designated by VA. The (RTLS) solution will be deployed in iterative phases as designated by VA leading up to the full performance requirements as defined. VISN 06 sites at which the (RTLS) solution will be deployed will be designated by VA. The Contractor shall provide hardware and software components and deliver training services. In addition, the Contractor shall conduct site assessments, perform wireless coverage site surveys (if required), update facility drawings, develop application documentation, and provide end-of-contract transition support. The RTLS solution must be compatible with the VISN 06 asset tracking infrastructure and system, so that at a later date, solely at VA s option, the RTLS and asset tracking system maybe integrated such that patient location can be provided in the RTLS even when tagged patients leave the RTLS area(s) and are in other parts of the VA facility. Facilities at which the solution may be deployed are listed in Table 1. The solution may be deployed as a no cost option at the discretion of VA to other sites and their affiliate stations at a later date.
