DESCRIPTION

Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Office of Acquisition Operations (OAO), Technology Acquisition Center (TAC), located at 23 Christopher Way, Eatontown NJ to enter into a contract on a basis of other than full and open competition for the replacement of the Veterans Heath Administration’s (VHAs) legacy electronic health record, with the Cerner implementation of the new Electronic Health Record (EHR). VA requires the legacy systems to have their existing Ophthalmology Picture Archiving imaging modalities interfaced and configured to communicate with Cerner. This includes the Carl Zeiss FORUM PACS Ophthalmology. The TAC intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed price contract to PROAIM Americas, LLC. (PROAIM), 16024 Manchester Road, Suite 200, St. Louis, MO 63011. The Carl Zeiss FORUM PACS Ophthalmology system is a Multi-Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) wide platform. This effort is to ensure that a cross-reporting infrastructure remains intact and allows VISN facilities to maintain and upgrade their existing Carl Zeiss FORUM PACS infrastructure. The current Carl Zeiss FORUM Ophthalmology PACS systems require configuration, cut-over services, and interface development services. These services will allow Carl Zeiss FORUM PACS and eye imaging end-point device information to send/receive information into the new VA Cerner EHR. This requirement includes software, virtual infrastructure licenses and professional services to be upgraded at 53 VA facilities. The proposed action is for brand name Carl Zeiss FORUM PACS software licenses, maintenance and support services. The Request for Information for this action was posted under 36C10B21R0040.

The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 6.302-1 entitled, “Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.” The primary North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is 541519.

Any inquiries shall be submitted to Alma.Aliaj@va.gov with the synopsis number, 36C10B21R0040, as the subject line. The Points of Contact (POCs) for this action are Alma Aliaj, Contract Specialist, Alma.Aliaj@va.gov and Heather Utt, Contracting Officer, Heather.Utt@va.gov.
