AI Contract Overview

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), through its Program Contract Activity Central (PCAC), intends to award a sole source contract to Education Management Solutions (EMS) for operational support of the Video Simulation Management System (VSMS) at the SimLEARN National Simulation Center. This decision is based on the justification that EMS is the only responsible source able to meet the agency’s unique needs, as VSMS is a proprietary SIMULATIONiQ Enterprise solution that includes over 1,500 pieces of equipment, such as learning management software, audiovisual viewer software, and an extensive array of high-definition cameras and audio equipment, integrated with high-fidelity medical simulation manikins. The system is essential for collecting performance data and supporting training activities within the simulation center. The contract will encompass comprehensive maintenance and support services, including hardware and software diagnostics, repair, replacement, training, system health checks, reporting, and help desk support. EMS is the sole authorized provider for SIMULATIONiQ maintenance, which is proprietary and unique to one manufacturer. The procurement falls under NAICS code 541511 with a small business size standard of $30 million. Although this is a sole source action under FAR 6.302-1(a)(2), interested parties capable of fulfilling the requirement can submit capability statements or proposals by the specified deadline for consideration; however, no competitive solicitation will be issued. The response deadline is May 20, 2022, with point of contact provided for submission and inquiries.
