The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center NJ has awarded a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to UpToDate, Inc. for the VISN 6 Sterile Compounding Perpetual License. Under solicitation 36C10B26Q0695, the award is valued at 644,077.45 dollars with an effective date of October 1, 2026. This procurement focuses on the renewal of Pharmacy OneSource Simplifi 797 Sterile Compounding Compliance Software licenses, including necessary maintenance and support for VISN 6 facilities.
The contract was justified as a limited-source procurement due to the unique capabilities of the Simplifi 797 software in ensuring compliance with USP 795, 797, and 800 standards. The agency determined that no compatible alternatives exist in the market to meet these specific regulatory requirements. The project is managed by the Department of Veterans Affairs and falls under NAICS code 513210.
The Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically the Technology Acquisition Center in New Jersey for the Richmond VAMC, has awarded contract 36C10B27C0001 to Radformation, Inc. for Radformation2 software and maintenance services. The total award amount is 276,538.68 dollars with an award date of October 1, 2026, under solicitation number 36C10B26Q0678. This procurement falls under NAICS code 513210 and is managed by Contract Specialist Felica Griffin.
This contract was established as a sole source procurement because Radformation, Inc. is the sole developer and exclusive distributor of the proprietary radiotherapy applications required, including AutoContour, ChartCheck, ClearCalc, ClearCheck, and EZFluence. These software tools are specifically engineered for interoperability with Siemens radiotherapy hardware and will support two linear accelerators. The justification for this exclusive award is based on FAR 12.102(a) due to the proprietary nature of the software.
The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking market research through a Request for Information (RFI) for the Payment Integrity Validation and Oversight Tool (PIVOT), designated under solicitation number 36C10B26Q0121 and product service code DA10, aimed at developing a SaaS-based solution to automate the detection and prevention of improper payments in VA Community Care healthcare claims. The tool is designed to leverage advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to analyze claims data including 837P, 837I, 837D, NCPDP, and 835 remittance advice, identifying fraud, waste, and abuse trends by executing VA and CMS compliance rules at scale across sandbox, testing, pre-production, and production environments. Key capabilities include a robust rules engine, pattern recognition and anomaly detection, data ingestion and management, workload module functionality, and comprehensive dashboards for auditors, analysts, supervisors, and administrators, with a baseline support for 100 concurrent users and scalability for future growth. The solution must meet stringent VA and federal security standards, including Section 508 accessibility compliance, and must be deployable without re-architecture to support iterative enhancements. Respondents are required to submit a two-page narrative, a two-page technical description, and a PowerPoint presentation detailing their solution’s alignment with the Performance Work Statement draft, with no marketing materials or generic capability statements permitted. All submissions are due by February 6, 2026, alongside a mandatory Notice of Intent to participate by January 23, 2026.
The contractor must be permanently based within a U.S. jurisdiction and adhere to all VA information safeguarding requirements, including limiting access to sensitive data and training personnel on nondisclosure obligations. The system must be protected behind a VA-compliant firewall, and all personnel with access to VA systems must hold appropriate security clearances and comply with NISPOM, VA Directive 0710, and HSPD-12 procedures for PIV credential usage. The contract, if awarded, will be on a Firm Fixed Price basis with a base performance period of 12 months and four additional 12-month option periods, not to exceed 60 months total. Vendors must include all estimated travel costs for up to two annual trips to Washington, D.C., and Denver, CO, in their fixed price proposals, with no direct reimbursement. The Minimum Viable Product must successfully process VA claims end-to
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veteran Health Administration (VHA) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) seeking vendor demonstrations for a next-generation Community Care Referral, Authorization, Utilization Management and Care Coordination system (CCRA). This initiative aims to inform a future recompete of the existing CCRA product, modernizing the referral and authorization workflows to better support Veterans’ access to community care. The VA envisions a comprehensive, integrated platform that seamlessly connects with existing VA electronic health record systems (including mandatory integration with VistA), third-party administrator portals, and community care programs. The system will handle the end-to-end referral and authorization process starting from VA provider orders, through utilization management, to care coordination within VA's internal and community care network. Vendors are invited to demonstrate capabilities aligned with a detailed rubric encompassing usability, interoperability, automation, scalability, security (including FedRAMP High or equivalent VA Authority to Operate), and AI-enabled workflow enhancements, while supporting HL7, FHIR, and other healthcare data exchange standards.
The RFI clarifies critical submission and demonstration protocols, such as the requirement for a single rubric spreadsheet in the initial submission with additional materials permitted only during live demos, which will not include patient data or prior VA deployment preferences. The government prefers demonstrations of modular yet integrated solutions that reflect current and future clinical guidelines, with flexibility for AI-assisted ambient dictation and workflow optimization but excludes claims processing functionalities. Proposed systems should comply with stringent VA cybersecurity and supply chain requirements, including FIPS 140-2 cryptographic standards, patching governance, and audit readiness, with software development and operational activities primarily conducted within the U.S. Community provider engagement will occur primarily through third-party administrator systems rather than direct VA system access. The VA anticipates a phased national rollout, potentially cloud-hosted with an emphasis on VA-managed enterprise environments, while still considering vendor-managed options. Pricing models, pilot site selections, and detailed performance metrics remain under development. This RFI represents a strategic effort to gather innovative solutions capable of streamlining community care referrals and authorizations, enhancing care coordination, and improving Veteran healthcare outcomes through modern, scalable technology infrastructures.
The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center awarded a firm-fixed-price delivery order to Thundercat Technology LLC on August 15, 2025, for the VISN 15 Hyperconverged Infrastructure Update. The contract, valued at $1,812,138.60, focuses on expanding the virtual server environment across four data centers located in Columbia, Missouri; Kansas City, Missouri; Wichita, Kansas; and Marion, Illinois. The scope of work includes the procurement, installation, and integration of Cisco M7 UCS nodes, Nutanix hypervisor software, NetApp storage appliances, and HYCU backup software. A critical requirement of the project is the migration of production medical servers with zero downtime to ensure the continuity of patient care.
Due to strict technical interoperability requirements with existing Cisco Fabric Interconnects and the end-of-life status of legacy M5 nodes, this procurement was conducted as a brand-name only acquisition under the NASA SEWP V GWAC. The award was justified as a sole-source action because only the specified combination of Cisco, Nutanix, NetApp, and HYCU products could integrate with the current infrastructure without a prohibitively expensive overhaul. The contract features a 12-month base period with four additional 12-month option periods, providing for a total potential performance period of 60 months, including 24/7 technical support for all integrated components.
