Patient Point Or Equal Digital Signage

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through Network Contracting Office 21, is soliciting commercial-off-the-shelf digital signage solutions under solicitation number 36C26126Q0611, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside with NAICS code 541519. The requirement covers the supply, installation, and maintenance of a patient communication platform designated as PatientPoint or equal, including sixty digital signage units with integrated media players, cellular-enabled connectivity devices, mounting hardware, and associated programming. The contract has a base performance period from June 1, 2026, to May 31, 2027, with additional option periods extending through 2031, all delivered to the VA Northern California Healthcare System in Mather, California. Delivery terms are FOB destination, with inspection and acceptance occurring on-site, and the Government retains the right to reject nonconforming items. The contract is structured as a Firm-Fixed Price arrangement under FAR 52.212-4, incorporating deviation-modified clauses such as VAAR 852.219-73 and 852.219-75, which enforce strict SDVOSB eligibility and subcontracting limitations requiring no more than 50% of the contract value to be subcontracted to non-SDVOSB entities. The solicitation requires offerors to self-certify their SDVOSB status through SAM, maintain a valid Unique Entity Identifier, and comply with the VA Veterans First Contracting Program, which supersedes conflicting SBA rules. Amendment 0001 extended the proposal deadline to May 26, 2026, and incorporated FAR 52.222-90 addressing DEI discrimination by federal contractors, while Amendment 0002 confirmed this deadline and clarified that no further questions will be accepted. Proposals must address technical compliance with the Statement of Work, delivery timelines, and price reasonableness under a trade-off source selection process, not LPTA. Invoicing must be submitted electronically through the VA’s EIPP system, with payments processed via Electronic Funds Transfer, and no paper, fax, or email submissions are permitted. Offerors must also complete required representations, including compliance with FAR 52.209-7 for responsibility matters and VAAR 852.232-72 for
