PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This contract involves the iterative development and evaluation of a smartphone application
(APP) for older drivers, specifically targeting the safety and mobility needs of individuals aged
65 and older. The work entails the translation of research findings into a functional software
prototype for both iOS and Android platforms.
The project scope encompasses the complete design lifecycle, including:
1) User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) Development: Creating wireframes and
iterative designs optimized for older drivers' cognitive and physical requirements, with
particular attention to aspects of distraction during the dynamic driving task.


2) Prototyping and Pilot Testing: Building a functional APP prototype and conducting
usability testing with a sample of older drivers.


3) Research Design: Developing a detailed Field Operational Test (FOT) framework,
including naturalistic driving protocols and regulatory documentation (e.g., IRB, ICR,
and PTA drafts), to support future performance assessments.


4) Technical Documentation: Producing comprehensive reports that detail design
methodology, testing outcomes, and recommendations for future iterations.


5) The Contractor is responsible for managing technical transition from initial wireframe
concept to a pilot-tested prototype ready for large-scale field evaluation.

AN11--Kaiser Permanente R&D Statistical Expertise EHR EvaluationThe Department of Veterans Affairs, through its Network Contract Office 20, is conducting market research via a Sources Sought notice to identify qualified service providers capable of delivering statistical expertise in measurement error and missing data analysis to support the evaluation of the Veterans Health Administration’s immersive virtual reality program. The intended contract is a firm-fixed price R&D services agreement with a base year and two option years, set to begin September 15, 2026, and primarily performed remotely with in-person meetings at the VA Puget Sound Health Care System in Seattle, WA.

Her role will include developing and reviewing study protocols aligned with STRATOS/STROBE guidelines, validating EHR outcome definitions, guiding prospective data collection to supplement incomplete patient-reported outcomes, conducting code reviews for analytic reproducibility, and co-authoring technical reports and peer-reviewed publications. The work spans three fiscal years and requires rigorous methodological oversight to ensure accurate assessment of VR therapy impact, including patient health outcomes, healthcare utilization, and cost implications. The contract imposes stringent information security, privacy, and records management obligations consistent with federal regulations and VA directives, including compliance with FISMA, HIPAA, the Privacy Act of 1974, and NIST standards. Contractors must implement VA-approved encryption, conduct annual security control assessments, adhere to strict data handling procedures, and immediately report any security incidents or breaches involving sensitive personal information. Failure to comply may result in liquidated damages of $42 per affected individual to cover credit monitoring and identity theft protection services. Contractors and their personnel must complete mandatory cybersecurity and privacy training, sign the Contractor Rules of Behavior, and obtain necessary clearances before accessing VA systems. All deliverables become U.S. Government property with unlimited rights, and no records created under the contract may be retained, sold, or disseminated without authorization. Only authorized Kaiser Permanente service providers may respond, and interested parties must submit company details, socioeconomic status certifications via SBA, and a courtesy quote by the July 20, 2026 deadline to inform potential set-aside determinations under NAICS code 541720. Participation in this sources sought notice carries no obligation for the government to issue a solicitation or award a contract.
