Modification 82, PAID Decommission Enhancements

Modification 82 under solicitation ID02120052 is a sole-source procurement action managed by the General Services Administration for the Department of Veterans Affairs. The contract provides the necessary personnel, management, and materials to support information technology service enhancements for the HR Smart system. The primary objective of this effort is to assist in the decommissioning of the legacy Personnel and Accounting Integrated Data system. The work is awarded to IBM as the proprietary developer and host of the HR Smart solution, as they are the only source capable of implementing the required interface changes, reporting updates, and new salary component work associated with Project Change Request 041. This action, valued at approximately 665,380 dollars, is justified by the need to mitigate mission risk and the lack of alternative qualified sources. The performance of the contract is centered in Bethesda, Maryland, with a response deadline extending through July 2028.
