AI Contract Overview

This contract action involves a sole-source, firm fixed price delivery order issued to Change Healthcare Technologies, LLC under the Defense Logistics Agency’s contract SPE2D1-18-D-0006 to upgrade the Enterprise Imaging PACS system at multiple Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers, including Danville, Hines, Chicago, and others. The upgrade transitions the system from version 14.1 running on Windows Server 2016 to version 14.2.2 on Windows Server 2022 to address the end of support for the legacy operating system. The award is justified under FAR 16.507-6(b)(2) because Change Healthcare is the only entity capable of providing the highly specialized, FDA-cleared software required, with proprietary systems that demand exclusive vendor-trained personnel for maintenance, updates, and support; third-party involvement would invalidate warranties and compromise regulatory compliance. All pricing has been pre-negotiated by DLA as fair and reasonable, and a separate price evaluation confirmed the delivery order costs are equal to or below the contract ceiling. The total contract value is $1,539,352.13, distributed across multiple VA sites with deliverables including new HPE and Dell EMC hardware, SQL Server 2022 licenses, installation, data migration, interface transitions, and end-user training. Performance occurs on-site at each VA facility, with acceptance conducted by government personnel after successful implementation. The system must maintain interoperability with VISTA Imaging and DICOM standards, and only Change Healthcare personnel are authorized to remotely access or maintain the systems. No competition was permitted due to technical exclusivity, and no formal evaluation factors, weights, or solicitation documents were used, as this was a non-competitive action based on unique and specialized capabilities. Packaging, marking, preservation, and FOB terms were not specified, and no contract clauses, representations from the offeror, or detailed line items were provided beyond aggregated site costs.

The Delivery Order is for upgrades of the Change Healthcare Enterprise Imaging PACS, due to an end of support of, version 14.1, operating on Windows Server 2016 OS, to version 14.2.2, operating on Windows Server 2022 OS.

In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation a Firm Fixed Price Delivery Order will be issued to Change Healthcare Technologies, LLC. Change Healthcare Technologies, LLC is the only one awardee capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services ordered are unique or highly specialized.

DLA has negotiated fair and reasonable prices and determined the prices awarded under contract SPE2D1-18-D-0006 to be fair and reasonable; thus, a separate determination of fair and reasonable pricing is not required. The Contracting Officer has conducted a price evaluation to ensure that the quoted prices are equal to or less than the contract price.

In conclusion, I have determined that placing a Delivery Order against the Change Healthcare Technologies, LLC contract SPE2D1-18-D-0006 represents best value in meeting the Government’s needs.
