    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) seeks to contract sustainment services for its Real-Time Location System (RTLS) Asset Tracking (AT) solution, which utilizes CenTrak and Infor LBI hardware and software across 10 healthcare facilities in the South Central VA Health Network (VISN 16). This firm-fixed-price contract, totaling approximately $12.1 million over a 12-month period with four optional extensions, aims to ensure the ongoing functionality and integration of these proprietary technologies. The justification for other than full and open competition is based on the necessity for seamless interoperability between CenTrak and Infor LBI systems, as any alternative solutions could result in considerable delays, increased costs, and compromised patient care. Market research indicated limited competition due to the proprietary nature of the technologies involved. The VA has identified authorized resellers for CenTrak and Infor LBI, which may increase competition among Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses for future solicitations. The comprehensive skills required for proper configuration, maintenance, and training underscore the need for a single integrator to manage the operations with both brands. Failing to continue the maintenance and support for these systems could adversely impact the efficient tracking of medical equipment vital for timely veteran care.
