AI Contract Overview

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its Network Contracting Office 12, plans to procure license upgrades and components for GE CARESCAPE B450 Patient Monitors from GE Medical Systems Information Technologies, Inc.

The upgrade includes software licenses and installation/configuration services that only GE Healthcare can provide. Interested parties may express their capability and interest by responding no later than March 9, 2022, but this notice does not constitute a solicitation for competitive proposals.
