Purchase Order 36C25923P0575

The Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 awarded a $401,520 firm fixed-price purchase order to Colorado Regional Health Information Organization (CORHIO), doing business as Contexture Colorado, for health information exchange licenses. The contract, which commenced April 1, 2023 and extends through March 31, 2028, was awarded on a sole-source, non-competitive basis without set-aside designation. Under the original solicitation, CORHIO was to provide 400 annual user licenses to maintain the VA's organizational membership in CORHIO's health information exchange network. A modification subsequently reduced the number of licenses to 200 for option years one through four, reflecting adjusted operational requirements.

This health information exchange license agreement enables VA healthcare providers to access and share patient health records with community providers across Colorado, supporting the VA's clinical operations by reducing duplicate testing, adverse drug reactions, and medical errors. CORHIO, a nonprofit organization, operates one of the country's largest health information exchanges and serves as the sole provider capable of delivering the required integration services and licensing access. The contract supports the VA's broader mission to improve healthcare quality and operational efficiency through interoperable health information systems that facilitate coordinated care between the VA and civilian healthcare partners in the region.
