1.  RFI TITLE: Public Address System Maintenance, Testing and Repair for the Defense Health Agency (DHA) Medical Treatment Facility (MTF).

1.  LOCATION: Naval Medical Center Portsmouth in Portsmouth, Virginia

3.0 BACKGROUND: The existing Public Address (PA) System at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth (NMCP) and its supported Branch Clinics consists of legacy equipment installed or modernized at various times throughout the facilities. Based on available facility information, the PA system serving Building 1 was likely installed or modernized during the building’s major renovation and recommissioning in 2002; Building 1 was officially rededicated on October 11, 2002. The PA system serving the Charette Health Care Center (Building 2) was likely installed and commissioned when the facility opened on April 30, 1999. The PA system serving Building 3 may have been installed as part of the building’s original construction and commissioning in 1959. However, government records confirming the exact acquisition, installation, modernization, or replacement dates for these systems are not available. The existing system includes paging amplifiers, zone controllers, speakers, wiring, interfaces with the NMCP telephone system, and power supplies distributed throughout NMCP locations.
