- Description
- It is the intent of the National Library of Medicine to modify an existing contract with Versus Technology, INC, 2600 Miller Creek Road, Traverse City, MI, under the authority of FAR 6.302 for the Bethesda Hospitals' Emergency Preparedness Partnership Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) / Real Time Location System (RTLS). NLM intends on extending the contract from 7/22/2012 - 7/21/2013. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However all responses received no later than the closing date of this announcement will be considered by the government. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The National Library of Medicine (NLM) provides efficient, cost-effective information technology services in support of the research and management programs offered through the National Institutes of Health. The National Library of Medicine is a partner of the Bethesda Hospitals' Emergency Preparedness Partnership (BHEPP), whose other members are the National Naval Medical Center (NNMC), National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (NIH/CC), and Suburban Hospital Healthcare System. BHEPP's main goals are to respond rapidly and successfully to any emergency situation, integrate the collaborative response with other community, regional, and national responses and create collaborative structures and processes to serve as an exportable model for other similar centers in the Nation. The National Library of Medicine spearheaded the planning, procurement and implementation of a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) / Real Time Location System (RTLS) for the Bethesda Hospitals' Emergency Preparedness Partnership (BHEPP). Purchase Order HHSN276200900863P was award to Versus 9/30/2009 to assess and implement an RFID/ RTLS system in the three hospitals. NLM intends on extending the order to 7/22/2013 to complete the implementation. The implementation includes expanding an RFID/RTLS that aligns with both the BHEPP and Suburban Hospital requirements. The BHEPP has identified a critical need expanding the coverage and upgrading the service of a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) / Real Time Location System (RTLS) to directly support the daily operations and emergency preparedness initiatives of one of its members, namely, Suburban Hospital Healthcare System. The BHEPP requires a system that will operate on a stand-alone network, separate from BHEPP partner production networks, and a scalable system that can be implemented incrementally as more requirements are requested by the Partnership. The RFID/RTLS solution shall incorporate role-based access so as to provide Suburban Hospital the ability to track patients and assets, at the discretion of Suburban Hospital allowing BHEPP the ability to track patients and assets in the event of a disaster.
