Real-Time Location System

The United States Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking a vendor to provide a real-time location system and fully restore the information technology infrastructure across its main hospital campus. The agency needs to replace, install, and configure all missing or damaged devices necessary to support clinical operations, administrative functions, security systems, and enterprise network services. This project addresses the critical need to restore network paths and ensure operational continuity by replacing damaged switches, access points, routers, firewalls, uninterruptible power supply devices, patch panels, and cabling components. The scope of work requires the installation of optics, patch cords, and cabling necessary for full network restoration. The selected contractor must load original equipment manufacturer-supported operating systems and firmware, and apply agency-provided configurations, including virtual local area networks, routing, wireless profiles, and security baselines. Additionally, the work includes validating wireless provisioning, identifying damaged or improperly terminated cables, and producing cable certification reports for all replaced runs. Only organizations based in the United States are eligible to bid on this opportunity. The agency requires the performance of the work to be conducted offsite. The agency has not disclosed a set budget and is looking for proposals to determine the cost. No specific evaluation criteria or key dates are provided in the source materials.
