Description
The Veterans Health Administration at James A. Haley VA Medical Center is seeking a sole‑source award to provide and support a dedicated fiber‑optic internet and static IP system for the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department’s Assistive Technology Lab on the 2nd floor of Building 38. The solution will enable reliable, high‑bandwidth connectivity for smart assistive devices (environmental control systems, tablets, computers) used by patients with disabilities, which cannot rely on the existing VA public Wi‑Fi. Charter Communications Operating LLC is identified as the only source capable of delivering the required infrastructure. Interested vendors may submit capability statements by the deadline, but the VA reserves the right to proceed directly with the sole‑source vendor.
• Provide dedicated fiber‑optic internet service and static IP addresses for the rehab clinic’s AT devices.
• Ensure bandwidth, speed, and coverage meet the needs of multiple smart devices simultaneously.
• Install and support the network within the VA Medical Center’s building 38, 2nd‑floor lab.
• Coordinate with VA IT security policies; the solution must be separate from the VA public network.
• Potentially include ongoing maintenance, monitoring, and service‑level agreements for reliability.
