2 P03 SSJA Brillians Supravista Signed_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Single Source Awards document submitted by the Department of Veterans Affairs for a procurement under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.

The contracting activity is the Department of Veterans Affairs (VISN 04, Commodities 2) for Station 503 at Altoona VA Medical Center in Altoona, Pennsylvania. The Action ID is 36C244-26-AP-0083, and the procurement concerns clinical decision support software. The Altoona VAMC requires a license and annual maintenance for Brillians (formerly known as SupraVISTA), a software application that provides prescription writing for scripts to be filled at local pharmacies, progress note writing functionality, and hyperlinks to clinical guidelines. The software integrates with both the Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS) and Veterans Integrated System Technology Architecture (VISTA) and performs automated rule-based analysis of clinical data to alert clinicians at the point-of-care. The estimated amount of the procurement is redacted in the document.

The justification establishes that Supravista is the only viable source due to unique technical characteristics. The facility has utilized this software for ten years, and the publisher has confirmed no authorized resellers exist. The software is the only clinical decision support system that analyzes more than drug interactions while applying complex business rules to clinical data and is not reproducible by competitors due to cost prohibitivity. Market research conducted by the Chief of HIMS contacted three companies offering similar software, but none could provide all necessary components, interface with CPRS or VISTA, or offer prescription writer functionality. The Contracting Officer, Amanda Saunders, certified the justification on September 14, 2026.
