The Department of Veterans Affairs is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Notice to identify potential vendors for a second Health Care Clearinghouse (HCCH) to support the Veterans Health Administration Office of Community Care. The primary objective is to increase connectivity and reduce processing times for revenue operations by performing discovery of electronic insurance transactions and insurance coverage. Key responsibilities include conducting real-time HIPAA 270/271 electronic transactions for health care eligibility and benefit inquiries, performing customized electronic transactions to search for patient insurance, and assisting with the ongoing implementation of electronic transactions. The anticipated contract is a five-year ordering period with a maximum ceiling of $25,000,000. The VA intends to set aside this requirement for Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) based on the Veterans Benefit Act, though it may move to an alternate set-aside or full and open competition if SDVOSB responses are inadequate. Interested vendors must provide comprehensive company information, socio-economic status, and evidence of capabilities, including up to three similar projects completed within the last three years. Compliance with strict cybersecurity standards, including FISMA and VA-specific directives, is required, as is adherence to subcontracting limitations. Responses must be submitted by October 2, 2026, at 2:00 PM Eastern, and should include feedback on the draft Performance Work Statement and the suitability of NAICS code 518210.
