About this file
The document is a Concept Paper Template for a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) focused on suicide prevention innovations. The template requires potential offerors to submit a 3-page executive summary addressing key aspects of their proposed solution, including problem description, innovation details, stakeholder impact, technical approach, risks, current progress, and organizational qualifications. The BAA targets three specific topic areas: improving services for non-VA-affiliated Veterans, strengthening post-crisis and care supports, and enhancing crisis response and lethal means safety.
Submission details include a July 15, 2024 - August 15, 2025 submission window, with concept papers to be sent to VHASuicidePreventionBAA@va.gov. The template requires comprehensive information such as company details, solution maturity level, whether the solution uses Veteran-facing AI, and a rough order of magnitude (ROM) cost for prototype/test and field test/pilot phases. Eligible offerors include private sector companies, non-profits, and institutions of higher learning, with the overarching goal of developing innovations that increase Veteran service access, reduce service delivery costs, enhance VA operational performance, and improve service quality for Veterans and their families.
