About this vehicle
The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center established a multiple-award Master IDIQ for human factors engineering support on September 24, 2019, with a shared ceiling of $25 million and an ordering period that closed on September 23, 2024. The vehicle is no longer accepting orders.
The vehicle contracted human factors engineering services for VA initiatives including legacy and modernized electronic health records systems, connected care tools, telehealth platforms, and community care programs. Work encompasses developing and executing scientifically valid studies covering study design, methodology, data analysis, and results documentation aligned with VA policies and HFE procedures. Task orders funded work primarily at VA facilities in Nashville, Tennessee and Washington, D.C.
Ben Allegretti Consulting, Inc. and Visionary Consulting Partners, LLC dominate the vehicle, each holding six of thirteen task orders. Combined, the two firms represent $29.2 million of the $33.5 million in combined task-order potential value — roughly 87 percent of vehicle activity. Cognitive Medical Systems, Inc. holds one order valued at $4.3 million. All three primes are service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, though the vehicle's set-aside structure shifted significantly in execution: the solicitation required SDVOSB certification, but only two of thirteen task orders (15 percent) were formally designated as SDVOSB set-asides. The remaining eleven orders (85 percent) carried no set-aside designation.
The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center served as sole customer agency, awarding all thirteen task orders. Ordering peaked in 2021 with five awards; activity slowed thereafter (two awards in 2022, two in 2023). Most recent task orders, awarded in July and September 2023, ranged from $3 million to $3.6 million in ceiling value. The vehicle obligated $24.5 million of its $33.5 million combined potential value (73 percent), leaving approximately $9 million unobligated at vehicle closure. All task orders were firm-fixed-price delivery orders with typical performance periods of twelve to twenty-four months.
