The Department of Veterans Affairs, James A. Haley Veterans Hospital (JAHVH), 13000 Bruce B. Downs., Tampa, FL 33612 requirement is to develop, implement and install 5 Smart Homes systems for veterans in their homes. The Department of Veterans Affairs, James A. Haley Veterans Hospital (JAHVH) intends to make an award to Ubisense Inc, 5445 DTC Parkway, Denver, CO 80111. Interested parties may e-mail LaVerne. Astroth@va.gov or fax (813) 979-3637, Attn: LaVerne Astroth, not later than Friday, 20 June 2012, 10:00 a.m. EST. The proposed contract action is for the design/modify, install and maintain 5 Smart Homes into veterans' homes that is most beneficial to cognitively impaired polytrauma veterans and other veterans needing cognitive aids within the AT program. The Tampa Smart Home is a highly integrated system which is used to record and analyze movements of persons in 3-dimensional space inside the PTRP. It monitors patients and staff and provides interactive prompting via touch screen LCD panels in order to provide enhanced rehabilitative care. The Smart Home has been fully integrated into the Tampa Assistive Technology (AT) program providing cognitive assistive technologies to Polytrauma and other cognitively impaired veterans. The original Tampa Smart Home was developed and designed by Ubisense Inc. as part of a contract in 2010. Ubisense was contracted to provide the hardware and software. This is a major system that is highly specialized. Ubisense designed the LCD touch screens. Ubisense, in partnership with Tampa VA staff designed the software to integrate prompting with the Ubisense location core services. The Smart Home software is separate to the core. The core software is used to calculate positions of objects in space using Ubisense ultra-wide band sensors (analogous to radar). The Smart Home software is integrated on top of the core software and interacts with patients depending on locations. Essentially the Smart Home software is the smarts that uses locations ( core ) to figure out what cognitive prompts to give patients. Currently the length of the source code exceeds 500,000+ lines and is highly complex. The 5 Smart Homes systems will be based on technologies already in existence in the original Smart Home at the Tampa VA. Some modifications to the technologies will be made to adapt to the different circumstances and needs of the individual veteran. The NAICS code assigned to this acquisitions is 334290 with a size standard of 750 Empl.
