U005--Press Ganey

The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 6 plans to award a sole source purchase order to Press Ganey Associates LLC for a National Database for Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI) to be implemented at the Richmond VA Medical Center. This procurement is justified under the FAR regulation for sole source contracting, as the government regards Press Ganey as the sole provider of the NDNQI service. The notice clarifies that this is not a solicitation for competitive quotes and no solicitation documents will be issued. However, other businesses that believe they can provide the NDNQI are invited to submit written evidence of their capability by the specified deadline to be considered, although the government retains the discretion to proceed without competition. The contract, identified under solicitation number 36C24623Q0066 and NAICS code 518210, is managed by the Network Contracting Office 6 located in Hampton, VA. The contracting officer overseeing this procurement is Ronnie Gregory, reachable by email and phone for inquiries. The intended performance location is the Richmond VA Medical Center, but additional competition is limited by the sole source determination. The government emphasizes that telephone inquiries or requests for solicitation documents will not be accepted, maintaining strict communication protocols during this process.
