VA Delays System for Tracking Equipment (and Employees)

The Veterans Affairs Department is pushing back the release date of the draft request for proposals for its $550 million Real Time Location System contract from yesterday, December 6, until this Friday, December 9.

VA said it will also delay release of the final RFP from Dec. 16 until Dec. 30.

The agency gave no reason for this slight slip in its original schedule, but I wonder if it is related to the article I wrote Monday about VA unions' concern that the project will result in a system used to track and monitor employees.
