63 -- PORTABLE AND PANIC (DURESS) ALARM SYSTEMS POC Marcia Guenin 765-677-3177 E-MAIL: click here to contact the contracting officer, marcia.guenin@med.va.gov. The VA Northern Indiana Health Care System, Marion, Indiana is seeking possible sources to provide a portable alarm system intended for employees. It is intended for the employee to wear a small device on their person, which can be activated by pressing a button, in the event the employee needs assistance. The alarm is then transmitted via pagers to a team of individuals. The portable device must be capable of activating the pager system (Mfr Zetron) from anywhere in specified buildings. A second panic (duress) alarm system will require a stationary button under the desk or on the wall in specified offices. This alarm shall be transmitted over the portable radio carried by VA police officers. The Marion campus is a predominantly psychiatric facility and some buildings have wire mesh in the plaster walls and ceilings. We have a radio frequency type fire alarm system manufactured by King Fisher Co. We also have an existing hard-wired panic alarm system, manufactured by Simplex. Posted 08/02/00 (W-SN481534). (0215)
