- Description
- Under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers intent to require, on a sole source basis, a brand name requirement for the Vocera system in the new Surgical and Clinical Tower Project at the VA West Haven Campus. The Vocera system is a wireless phone system integrated with the nurse call that allows care teams to carry one phone that receives calls from both patient rooms and other clinical providers. �The current nurse call system is connected to a Vocera wireless telephone system on campus. This connection is made via a gateway and software at the nurse call server. The existing gateway and software will support the extension of the Vocera system into the new spaces for this project.� Vocera is the standard across all VA Healthcare facilities in New England.� Sole sourcing to Vocera ensures that communication between all care providers and patients are maintained on campus.� This significantly improves patient care because it allows care teams, such as code blue teams, to be alerted to code blue calls anywhere that there are Vocera antennas.� Other nurse call phone interfaces cannot communicate with Vocera, and therefore no other vendor is acceptable. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS.� It is a market research tool being used to determine the availability of other qualified sources that can meet the requirements identified above and inherent with the referenced Vocera system.� The Government is not obligated to, and will not pay for, any information received from potential sources as a result of this notice of intent.� All responses received within 15 days of the posting of this notice of intent will be considered by the Government.� A determination by the Government to require the brand name for the Vocera system for the VA West Haven procurement based on this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.� Information received will normally be considered solely for the purposes of determine whether to allow alternate system manufacturers. Submit responses within 15 days of the posting of this notice of intent via email to: tyler.s.maryak@usace.army.mil (list ""W912WJ24X0007 � Nurse Call Phone Interface"" in the subject line of the email).
