6530--PAR Excellence Licenses, Install, Training and Supply Items

The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking sources for the provision of PAR Excellence licenses, installation, training, and supply items. The contract is a firm-fixed price supply purchase, and the intended use is for the expansion of the PAR Excellence Weight-Based Inventory Management System (WBIMS) at various facilities throughout VISN 20. The required items include PAR Bins Replenish Licenses and qwikSIGHT Mobile Louvered Panel Units. The vendor will be responsible for staging, installing, and training on the equipment. The contract also includes a one-year full equipment replacement for defects or damage not caused by VA personnel. Some key points to consider are: • The PAR Excellence WBIMS is a weight-based inventory supply system that has improved inventory controls throughout VISN20. • The system must be fully compatible with the existing PAR Excellence WBIMS. • The vendor must provide OEM brand name or equal to PAR Excellence WBIMS Supply Cabinets and Software. • The equipment must be installed and trained on during normal VA hours of operation. • The contract is subject to the SBA Non-Manufacturer Rule, and a waiver will not be sought for this potential acquisition.
