- Description
- Notice of Intent: The VA Maryland Health Care System (VAMHCS) VISN 5, in accordance with FAR 6.302-1 (Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements), intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Alertus Technologies, LLC to expand the existing Alertus emergency notification system. This coverage is to enhance operational reliability and campus wide communication under COVID and other critical conditions for the Loch Raven, Perry Point, and Baltimore campuses and all surrounding CBOCs . This requirement is limited to only one vendor as Alertus Technologies, LLC is the only company who invented and is the sole manufacturer of the Alert Beacon and is also the sole manufacturer of peripherals for the Alert Beacon such as the Text to Speech speaker, LED Marquee and FACP Module. Alertus Technologies is the sole manufacturer of High Intelligibility text to speech functionality. Support for the Alertus platform is available exclusively by Alertus Technologies. The manufacturer and contractor selected has an operational emergency notification system installed at Baltimore, Loch Raven and Perry Point sites. The project is required to integrate the new and existing parts of the Emergency Notification system. It would be cost prohibitive to develop a third party integration to this proprietary and patented equipment and its software. See attached Alertus Sole Source Letter 2021 for additional details. The NAICS code 238210 applies. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. It is not a solicitation or a request for offerors. No solicitation package is available at this time. A determination not to compete is solely within the discretion of the Government. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. Responses must be received no later than 2:00 PM (EST) on June 16, 2021. No telephone inquiries will be accepted. Responses must be emailed to: charles.willis@va.gov
