About this file
This document provides a determination that bundling is necessary and justified for a multiple award indefinite delivery indefinite quantity contract expected to exceed $100 million for remote patient monitoring and home telehealth services from the Department of Veterans Affairs' Office of Connected Care. The contract will have a period of performance from August 2021 through January 2030.
The bundling is deemed necessary to allow contractors to propose the necessary peripheral devices rather than the VA setting up separate contracts. It is estimated to provide cost savings of over $ in acquisition costs through consolidating requirements and reducing the labor costs associated with administering separate contracts. The bundled contract will provide a single platform for remote patient monitoring that integrates peripheral devices to enable telehealth services for veterans.

i. Through market research, the VA has found substantial bundling necessary and justified for the Remote Patient Monitoring – Home Telehealth which consists of platforms, peripherals, and services. Currently peripherals are acquired by a separate contract that contractors must ensure interfacing with proposed platforms is maintained. The restriction of platforms to ensure interfacing capability of VA peripherals could limit competition or result in additional separate contracts for peripherals to meet new technology advances in peripherals and to meet VA requirements to provide telehealth to veterans. The incorporation of peripherals into the requirement allows contractors to propose the necessary devices instead of the VA setting up separate contracts to acquire the supplies required for this requirement.
ii. The cost savings is reflected in the products and in the acquisition cycle. The cost savings in the acquisition cycle would result in a potential savings of $ . To solicit and award a service contract over $ for acquisitions alone it would equate to $ a day in wages and benefits. Soliciting two separate contracts would result in $ in labor wages and does not take into account the administrative costs associated with administrating two contract awards. Cost savings is also reflected in the peripherals. During market research a review of the current telehealth contracts , that incorporated some peripherals and BPA contract , that also
