The primary objective is to enable the automatic population of Reporting and Data Systems codes. This effort includes interface changes, project management services, and remote training services. The period of performance is scheduled for 12 months, from February 16, 2026, to February 15, 2027, with a government option to extend services for up to six additional months. While the contractor will perform services remotely, the place of performance and acceptance is the VA Portland Healthcare System in Oregon.

All personnel requiring access to sensitive information must undergo background investigations and fingerprinting. The contract mandates that custom software development and outsourced operations be performed within the United States to the maximum extent practicable.
