AI Contract Overview

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through the West Haven VA Health Care System, plans to enter into a sole source negotiation with the Yale Center for Analytical Sciences to provide specialized statistical and informatics services supporting its research initiatives, particularly within the PRIME Center focused on pain and chronic conditions in veterans. Due to the complexity and breadth of the PRIME Center's projects, which include designing custom medical databases, handling data extraction, educational content management, and conducting various types of data analyses and clinical research support, local VA staff resources are insufficient. The Yale Center for Medical Informatics brings extensive experience with VA systems and offers crucial expertise in areas such as natural language processing, big data mining, clinical trials, and survey design. This notice serves as an intent to negotiate exclusively with Yale under FAR 6.302-5 but does allow other responsible sources to submit capability statements by December 14th, though the government retains sole discretion to decide whether to compete the contract. No competitive proposals are requested at this time, and all communications must be submitted in writing, with no telephone responses accepted. The contract falls under NAICS code 541715 and will be managed through the Department of Veterans Affairs' Rpo East office headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
