Health Systems Technology Integrator RFI

The Department of Veterans Affairs is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) under solicitation number 36C10G26Q0087 to identify a Health Systems Technology Integrator. This role will support the Veterans Accountable Care Operating Model within the Office of Veterans Community Care by establishing enterprise integration, data management, and artificial intelligence enablement capabilities. The primary scope involves designing and sustaining an integration and data layer that provides bidirectional connectivity between VA clinical, administrative, and financial systems—such as VistA, Federal EHR/Oracle Health, and iFAMS—and external payers, providers, and health information exchanges. The effort emphasizes semantic normalization, identity resolution, and the use of standards including HL7 FHIR R4, USCDI, and ASC X12 transaction sets. The government is seeking industry feedback on the draft Statement of Objectives, including recommended contract types and the weighting of evaluation factors such as AI governance, security, and financial systems integration. Key performance requirements include 100 percent reproducibility of performance payments from source data and the delivery of all architecture and measure logic in portable form. Due to the sensitivity of the data and business rules involved, the VA will strictly evaluate organizational conflicts of interest, requiring disclosures regarding affiliations with the Federal EHR vendor or Community Care Network third-party administrators. Responses to this RFI, which must include technical approaches and past performance references, are due by October 2, 2026.
