Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC) Nurse Call & PA System Refresh

The United States Army Corps of Engineers, Huntsville Engineering and Support Center, is planning to award a sole-source, firm-fixed price contract to Lone Star Communication, Inc. for the upgrade and replacement of the outdated Rauland R4K series nurse call system components at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas. This decision is justified under the Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation overhaul, which permits non-competitive contracting when the required services are available from only one responsible source and no alternative solutions can meet agency needs. The contract aims to modernize critical healthcare communication infrastructure at the medical center, ensuring reliable and secure nurse call and public address system functionality for patient care operations. The solicitation, identified as PANHES-26-P-030130, was posted on August 5, 2026, with a response deadline of August 19, 2026. No set-aside provisions are being applied, and the procurement falls under the Department of Defense, specifically managed by the Support Center Huntsville. Primary point of contact for inquiries is Christopher T. Shepard, with Anne Tuggle as secondary contact, both reachable through official U.S. Army Corps of Engineers email addresses. The contract will be executed at the BAMC facility in Texas, with all work focused on replacing obsolete hardware and integrating modern, compliant nurse call and PA system components to support ongoing medical operations.
