On-Site Installation and Configuration

The contract requires the physical installation, setup, and configuration of defibrillators at five VA medical centers, with all units mandated to be pre-configured according to VISN standards and wireless interfaces disabled by default to ensure compliance with federal security protocols. Work must be performed on-site at the designated locations, beginning with the Palo Alto facility as the primary place of performance, and will involve coordinating with VA personnel to integrate devices into existing medical infrastructure without disruption to patient care. All equipment must be delivered, installed, and tested in accordance with established technical and safety guidelines prior to handover. The solicitation is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541330, targeting specialized services for technical installation and configuration. The response deadline is May 7, 2026, at 5:00 PM, and the opportunity is managed by the Department of Veterans Affairs through the 261-NETWORK Contract Office 21. While no set-aside preferences or point of contact details are specified, bidders are expected to demonstrate proven experience in deploying medical devices within federal healthcare environments and adherence to strict configuration and security requirements. The contract emphasizes operational readiness and regulatory compliance over cost alone, requiring precise execution to meet VA standards across all five installations.
