70--VIRTUAL SPECIAL NEEDS

The Louis Stokes Cleveland Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center intends to negotiate a sole source contract with VTree LLC for the provision of a camera-based customized patient learning software designed for rehabilitation purposes. The agency believes that VTree LLC is the only business capable of meeting the specific requirements, and therefore plans to proceed under FAR 13.106-1(b), which allows for sole source procurement when access to proprietary information is involved. Interested parties who believe they have the capacity to fulfill this requirement must submit their capabilities by May 18, 2012, at 5 PM EST. This submission will help the government assess whether to open the procurement to competition, but the decision to avoid a competitive process remains at the agency’s discretion. No formal solicitation has been issued at this stage. All inquiries should be directed via email to Rachelle Hamer at the provided government email address. This procurement opportunity is identified under solicitation number VA25012Q0396, with the NAICS code 541511, pertaining to custom software development services. The contract is aimed at supporting specialized rehabilitation programs using innovative technology at the Cleveland VA Medical Center.
