About this award
The Department of Veterans Affairs awarded a $15.3 million firm fixed-price definitive contract to Abridge Ai Inc. on June 23, 2025, following a Special Notice that announced intent to sole source; no set-aside was used. The contract covers cloud-hosted, commercial off-the-shelf ambient dictation software as a service, with infrastructure compliant with VA ATO and FedRAMP requirements. Place of performance is Chicago, IL, and the ultimate completion date is March 28, 2027.
The VA Strategic Acquisition Center issued the originating Special Notice, posted May 6, 2025, with responses due May 16, 2025, under NAICS 541715. The notice sought market research for ambient scribe tools to be piloted in live VA environments, following the "AI Tech Sprint for Documenting VA Clinical Encounters and Integrating Community Care Data" challenge. The tools must transcribe clinical encounters, integrate with VA Electronic Health Record systems, and let providers start recordings automatically and generate draft notes without manual copy-and-paste. The notice paired Abridge AI with Carahsoft Technology Corp. as intended sole-source recipients, and this record covers only the Abridge award. The notice stated it was not a Request for Proposals and that the government would not reimburse response costs.
