ryan.mullins2@va.gov Sources Sought Notice Whole Help Response Veterans Health Affairs, Network Contracting Office 5, is issuing this sources sought notice in order to identify sources that have the resources and capabilities to provide Education Services for Whole Health.

SERVICES REQUIRED

Scope: The contractor shall provide all labor, supervision, and other resources required to develop and conduct Whole Health education programs short of performing inherently governmental activities or providing personal services. This includes the plan, all aspects of curriculum, course administration, and implementation (including timeline for training, personnel, sites, and follow-up). The term curriculum refers to the subcomponents of materials, tools, content, printed materials, and learning activities. The contractor shall familiarize themselves with VHA’s current state of Whole Health education and materials (course curriculum, videos, tools, materials, online resources, and Whole Health Primer). The contractor is expected to actively participate in regular meetings and subgroup calls/webinars to coordinate for all aspects of curriculum development, delivery, and continuing education. The Whole Health core education programs shall include an overarching strategy with each program consisting of curriculum, roll-out plan, project timelines (schedule, dependencies, milestones, etc.), staff training, implementation methodologies, (face-to-face, health study modules, video presentations, experiential learning activities, etc.), and evaluation process. Educational content shall be created with transferability for inclusion in other VA educational offerings, e.g., sub-modules on specific cross-related topics. Corresponding supplemental content will be available to Veterans in print and web-based formats (including the newly-developed Whole Health app) to enhance learning application.

All documents rendered electronically are considered e-Learning products and will receive certification from the VHA 508 Office or its delegate, without exception, prior to acceptance and final delivery. The VHA 508 office utilizes the VA Section 508 Checklists. The contractor shall follow the VA 508 Review Request process, to submit the e-learning products for review and validation by the VHA 508 Office or its delegate, unless otherwise designated by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). Note: There are multiple Section 508 checklists; each checklist references different aspects of a product that needs to be 508 compliant; and several 508 checklists may pertain to a given product, such as an online course
