Description The VA Market Research, Phase II is designed to provide an overview of key areas that were assessed during the VA Supply Chain Management Assessment (SCMA) - Phase I. The objective of SCMA Phase I was to assess and document the current state of VA SC (this does not mean SC has been properly defined just notionally what VA has been referring to as the VA SC) - outcomes for SCMA Phase I, identify and document the as-is state, summarize observations for improvements, and reviewing various documents included in the VA SCMA repository. A high level overview of SCMA Phase I will be provided by key VA staff (Administrations and VA Central Offices). The information in the VA SCMA repository can be shared as part of the VA Market Research, Phase II (some exceptions may apply). Industry support is required to assure VA is conducting quality market research to collect information from the industry partners with expertise in SC Management and to collect proven best practices, lessons learned, and various programmatic methodologies that can be applied to inform the VA Comprehensive SCM Strategy (quality data based business practices and targeted recommendations based on VA mission areas) along with path forward to assess the information received from industry. Discussion Topic The Department of Veterans Affairs is interested in industry input and a working discussion concerning the very complex issues facing Modernization of the current Supply Chain Systems and the need for innovation, upgrades and improved outcomes. A main goal of this event is to share the vision of the Leadership and determine what industry needs to be able to provide innovative and complete solutions for consideration.
