- Description
- Request for Information/Sources Sought Industry Input Needed This is a Request for Information (RFI) to conduct market research to determine the availability of vendors capable of providing the requirement for Censis Technologies, Inc., GovCloud as described in detail in the attached DRAFT Product Description. This RFI does not guarantee the issuance of an RFQ/RFP. VA currently intends to solicit this requirement as Sole Source because the availability for resellers of the product is unknown. If you have the ability to provide the Censis GovCloud outlined in the Product Description, please respond to this RFI with a statement of capabilities. Further, if you have a similar software/service, please respond to this RFI with a capabilities statement and supporting documentation capable of validating the equivalent product/service capabilities. If the entire Censis GovCloud requirement, or an equivalent, outlined in the Product Description is available from your company under a General Services Administration (GSA) contract or other contract vehicle, please let us know in your response. This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes it does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. The VA is not, at this time, seeking proposals and will not accept unsolicited proposals. Responders are advised that the U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI; all costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested vendor's expense. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFQ/RFP, if any is issued. Any information submitted by respondents to this RFI is strictly voluntary. All submissions become Government property and will not be returned. Requirement Real Time Location System (RTLS) is an umbrella term that includes multiple technologies for locating and tracking items. It includes Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) based location finding, active and passive Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), and a number of other location technologies, including ultrasound (US) and infrared (IR). The potential uses and benefits of this technology throughout VA are significant, and include improvement of quality of patient care, improved patient satisfaction, reduction of health care asset management costs, improvement of capacity/resource planning, improvement of employee and patient safety, as well as improvement of general asset management and inventory. Censis tracking system, Censitrac, is used for tracking reusable medical devices through the workflow of Sterile Processing Services (SPS) from decontamination to the operating room. Censitrak works by scanning 2-D barcodes that are electro-chemically etched into the reusable medical devices. Standard barcodes are used for identifying instrument containers, case carts, peel packs, endoscopes, and locations and reprocessing. In VISN 10 all eleven facilities use Censitrac for tracking their SPS workflow. The interface for the system is currently held in two different software applications depending on the location of the facility due to the merging of the Veterans in Partnership Healthcare Network (VISN 11) and the VA System of Ohio Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN 10). NOTE: October 1, 2015 VA System of Ohio Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN 10) and the Veterans in Partnership Health care Network (VISN 11) integrated.
