The Department of Veterans Affairs awarded a blanket purchase agreement to Picis Clinical Solutions, Inc. to provide ongoing clinical information systems support services. The BPA facilitates task orders for software maintenance and related services in support of Picis' proprietary clinical and anesthesia record keeping applications. Task orders issued against the BPA provide up to $32.9 million in firm fixed price contracts to Picis for software support across multiple VHA networks, facilities, and medical centers through September 2026. Places of performance include corporate headquarters in Wakefield, MA as well as locations in North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, Arizona, California, Florida, Pennsylvania, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and New York that utilize Picis' clinical software solutions. The original solicitation expressed intent to negotiate a five-year BPA with Picis Clinical Solutions, Inc. on a sole-source basis due to the proprietary nature of their clinical information systems and anesthesia record keeping applications currently used by the agency. The BPA and associated task orders aim to maintain functionality of these critical systems which support healthcare operations and quality care for veterans.
The Department of Veterans Affairs utilizes the BPA and task order vehicles to procure ongoing software maintenance, training, and technical support services from Picis Clinical Solutions, Inc. This enables the continued operation of Picis' proprietary clinical information and records platforms currently relied on across VHA integrated networks and facilities to manage veteran health records and deliver care.
