The Department of Veterans Affairs Sierra Pacific Network (VISN 21) requires a coordinated effort to maintain and unify its current Patient Elopement and Wandering Prevention Systems across multiple healthcare facilities. These systems, currently a mix of three differing platforms with varying hardware and architectural approaches, are essential for patient safety in Community Living Centers, inpatient units, Emergency Departments, and Behavioral Health settings. The goal is to develop a unified, enterprise-capable solution to reduce sustainment costs, simplify clinical standardization, and improve operational interoperability across VISN 21. No specific budget amount or location for performance of services is mentioned in the description. The request for proposal will close on 13 July 2026.

The Department of Veterans Affairs is planning to acquire Patient Elopement and Wandering (PEW) Prevention Systems to enhance safety across its healthcare facilities, including Community Living Centers, Emergency Departments, and Behavioral Health units. This acquisition is set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB). The formal solicitation is anticipated for release on or about May 28, 2026. No budget amount or specific performance location is mentioned in this notice. This presolicitation notice is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a commitment to procure.
