6515--VISN 21 Patient Elopement and Wandering Prevention (VA-26-00049526)

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Technology Acquisition Center is issuing a Sources‑Sought notice (Solicitation 36C10B26R0020, SDVOSB set‑aside) to identify qualified vendors capable of sustaining and standardizing the Patient Elopement and Wandering (PEW) Prevention systems across all Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 (VISN 21) facilities. The effort requires a full‑life‑cycle solution that includes workflow discovery, system architecture design, site assessments, hardware and software provisioning, calibration/tuning, and integration with existing nurse‑call, access‑control, and fire‑alarm systems, followed by comprehensive acceptance testing and validation. Offerors must provide technical, engineering, integration, testing, and change‑management expertise to maintain current PEW systems while delivering a unified enterprise platform. A critical requirement is a live, functional demonstration of the proposed system—prototype‑only or conceptual demos will be rejected—as the VA will use the demo to validate technical claims, assess usability, and compare competing solutions. All deliverables must be submitted in VA‑approved electronic formats (e.g., Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, Visio, AutoCAD). Responses are due 07 April 2026, 14:00 ET; questions should be directed to Contract Specialist Juan C. Perez (Juan.Perez5@va.gov).
