DA01--Intent to Sole Source Notice StepWatch Activity Monitor ServicesThe Department of Veterans Affairs, through Network Contracting Office 1 on behalf of the Jamaica Plain VA Medical Center, intends to award a sole-source contract to Modus Health LLC for the continued provision of StepWatch Activity Monitor services critical to the CSP2017 Pivotal Percutaneous Osseointegrated Prosthesis (POP) Study. This action is justified under FAR 13.106-1(b) due to the uniquely proprietary nature of Modus Health’s StepWatch system, which includes exclusive data processing algorithms, a CSP-specific cloud analytics environment, UDI-matched device compatibility, and a validated longitudinal mobility metrics pipeline that cannot be replicated or lawfully provided by any other vendor. Substituting another provider would require extensive protocol changes, re-validation of endpoints, and would irreparably disrupt the scientific integrity of the study by breaking continuity with over a decade of accumulated data under prior contract 36C24121P0844, which ended July 8, 2026. The new contract begins August 1, 2026, and runs through July 31, 2027, with an estimated value of $82,880.87, covering annual cloud and app fees, data cleaning, mobile hotspot services, remote training, and JAMF-based device management. All services are delivered electronically from Modus Health’s facility in Mountlake Terrace, WA, with data inspection and acceptance performed remotely by VA personnel. No competitive solicitation will be issued; instead, any interested party must submit a capability statement proving ownership or licensing of StepWatch-compatible systems and the ability to deliver identical outputs without protocol modifications. The procurement is classified as a simplified acquisition under firm fixed price terms, supported by statutory authority under 38 U.S.C. § 7303 to advance VA research missions. The contracting officer, Gail Grundy, is the sole point of contact, and submissions are due by July 31, 2026, with no formal evaluation factors or weights applicable due to the non-competitive nature of the award.
