DSS Infusion Therapy Manager IDIQ

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its Technology Acquisition Center in Eatontown, New Jersey, is soliciting proposals under an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract for the DSS Infusion Therapy Manager program, identified by solicitation number 36C10B26R0039. This combined solicitation and synopsis targets commercial services related to infusion therapy management, with a North Carolina delivery point and a maximum potential value ranging from $1.2 million to $47 million based on NAICS code 541512 and contractual thresholds. The contract will be awarded as a fixed-price vehicle across five consecutive ordering periods, each up to 365 days, with option periods available and subject to re-certification. Proposals must be submitted electronically by August 13, 2026, in five clearly labeled volumes adhering to strict formatting guidelines including page limits, font requirements, and prohibited features like hyperlinks or embedded attachments. Evaluation will follow a best-value trade-off approach, prioritizing Technical merit as the most significant factor, followed by Past Performance, Price, and Veterans Involvement—with the non-price factors collectively weighted significantly higher than cost. Technical proposals must demonstrate understanding of the problem and feasibility of approach, with a minimum Acceptable rating required for eligibility. Price evaluation includes a 10% HUBZone preference and screens for unbalanced pricing as an unacceptable risk. Veterans Involvement credits are awarded to verified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) or Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSBs) through SBA VetCert verification. The scope of work includes managing a suite of infusion therapy systems, deploying specialized software licenses for Levels 1 through 3, analytics tools, and VistA Chemotherapy Manager, with all deliverables—including master schedules, weekly progress reports, compliance plans, and AI disclosures—being Not Separately Priced (NSP) and contingent upon task order issuance. Critical compliance mandates include adherence to Section 508 and WCAG 2.0 AA accessibility standards, ENERGY STAR® certification for hardware, and compliance with the VA OIT Technical Reference Model. AI usage is heavily regulated: contractors must disclose all AI systems, obtain prior written approval for deployment, deliver unlimited rights to all AI data and models, refrain from using VA data to train commercial AI products, and submit annual attestations. Any material AI changes require advance notification, and VA reserves the right to deactivate any system without notice
