This is Amendment Six to a combined solicitation for Pharmacy Staff Scheduling Software Access and Support Service. The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center is seeking a comprehensive Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform solution that provides 24/7/365 platform availability through a hosted cloud-based environment, with unlimited technical support during standard business hours (Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. CST) and emergency-only support outside those hours. The solicitation requires the software to support advanced scheduling capabilities including multi-role staff scheduling, staffing ratios and coverage rules based on patient census, rotating and non-standard shift patterns, conflict prevention, multi-department employee support, dynamic coverage response, and approval workflows with seniority rules or bidding processes. The contractor must ensure no Personally Identifiable Information beyond employee names and email addresses is collected or stored. This amendment establishes a question deadline of Friday, May 22, 2026, at 3:30 p.m. EST and a proposal submission deadline of May 28, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. EST to Justin.Daniel@va.gov or Evan.Schlisserman@va.gov.

The solicitation (36C10B26Q0122) is issued under a tiered approach following multiple amendments and a previous cancellation. The Product Service Code is DA10 (Software Licensing), with NAICS Code 541519. The contracting office is located in Eatontown, New Jersey (zip code 07724), with the point of contact being Contract Specialist Justin Daniel. Prior amendments changed the acquisition strategy from a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside to unrestricted full and open competition, cancelled and re-solicited the requirement, and established the current tiered approach.
