P03 Emg Nursing Orientation_Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification document for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) VISN 1 to procure a VISN-wide license for an Emergency Nursing Orientation module. The acquisition plan (ID: 36C241-25-AP-0702) is for a requirement that exceeds the micro-purchase threshold but does not exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold of $250,000.

The justification explains that VISN 1 Knowledge Information Services requires online access to Elsevier's Emergency Nursing Orientation module, which focuses on nursing competencies and skill-building for Emergency Nursing and Urgent Care departments. Market research conducted by the VISN1 Library team determined this to be the only suitable online education tool focusing on nursing competencies and skill building, as other platforms like the Board of Certification for Emergency Nursing and EBSCO's Nursing Reference Center were found to be either focused solely on certification examination preparation or too broad in scope. The document is signed by Contracting Officer Tyler Kenyon with an effective date of 11/15/2024.
