J059--Overhead Paging System

This contract is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSBC) set-aside solicitation issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs through the 262-NETWORK Contract Office 22 for the urgent repair and upgrade of the overhead paging system at the West Los Angeles VA Medical Center, Building 500. The current system, powered by obsolete Dukane equipment, has failed and is no longer supported, necessitating a full replacement with a modern Biamp-based intelligent paging system. Key deliverables include the installation of Biamp amplifiers, VoIP interface units, networked messaging processors, and supporting hardware such as UPS units and POE switches, while integrating with existing speaker zone wiring and incorporating SIP phone system connectivity for pre-recorded announcements. The scope covers all phases of work including engineering submittals, demolition of old system components, rough-in and trim-out wiring, testing and commissioning, and training for facility staff, with a mandatory one-year warranty on labor and equipment and a five-year warranty specifically on Biamp-manufactured components. The contract requires strict adherence to specified equipment quantities and models, and all work must be performed on-site at 11301 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90073. The solicitation mandates that all offerors be registered in SAM with a valid UEI and CAGE code, and must complete all required annual representations and certifications, including those related to small business status, cybersecurity, and compliance with Section 889 of the National Defense Authorization Act regarding prohibited telecommunications equipment. Proposals must be submitted electronically via email to the contracting officer by May 12, 2026, and include two separate files: a completed SF 1449 with pricing in Section B, and supporting general information, along with a cover letter. Offers must be labeled with the contractor’s name, address, solicitation number, and point of contact, and vendors must also be registered in the VA’s Customer Engagement Portal using the 10091 webform. Evaluation is based on lowest price, provided the offer is conforming, reasonable, within available funding, and passes two mandatory pass/fail gates: preliminary review of complete submissions and proof of trade certification for all personnel performing work on the system. Performance is governed by FAR Part 13 procedures, with electronic invoicing required through VAAR Clause 852.232-72, payment via EFT per FAR 52.2
