The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Network Contracting Office 23 (NCO 23) intends to award a sole source contract to Philips for reconfiguring the Intellispace Critical Care and Anesthesia (ICCA) system at the VA Central Iowa Health Care System (VACIHCS). This reconfiguration is for a new Telemetry unit. Philips is the proprietary license holder for Philips Patient Monitoring products. This notice is not a request for competitive quotes, but responsible firms believing they can meet the requirements may submit written notification and capability statements by November 13, 2025, at 12:00 PM CST. Submissions must include company information, SAM UEI number, address, point of contact, business size, and supporting evidence demonstrating ability to perform, including relevant corporate experience. Responses will be evaluated, but the decision to not compete the procurement remains at the government's discretion. The NAICS code for this acquisition is 541511.
The VA Central Iowa Health Care System requires reconfiguration of its Intellispace Critical Care and Anesthesia (ICCA) system to support the remodel of the Telemetry unit on the third floor of Building 1W. This project involves project management, network reconfiguration services, and system testing. Key aspects include updating bed naming conventions, customizing the ICCA interface, and ensuring seamless integration with existing systems like Philips patient monitoring and VistA. The project is divided into Phase A (ICCA data and interface reconfiguration) and Phase B (final testing and inventory). The work is expected to be completed between November 2025 and February 2026, coordinating with a larger construction project. The contractor must be Philips-certified, have an established business with qualified staff, and ensure 95% system operability. Documentation, reporting, and quality control are also critical components of this project.
