About this file
This document is a Request for Information (RFI) from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) seeking industry feedback on a proposed Remote Pedal Monitoring Program for Veterans. The RFI contains 15 detailed engagement questions designed to assess vendor capabilities for developing and deploying a thermal imaging-based remote pedal monitoring device for up to 100,000 Veterans nationwide. Key technical requirements include FDA clearance, integration via HL7 FHIR and REST-based APIs, encrypted data transfer meeting FIPS 140-2 Level 2 standards, clinical monitoring services, patient onboarding within 3-5 business days, and compliance with Section 508 accessibility requirements.
The RFI is part of a market research effort to improve understanding of industry capabilities for this new VA program, with a focus on commercial best practices, innovative delivery approaches, and performance strategies. The solicitation (Number 36C79125Q0022) is classified under NAICS code 621999 and PSC code 6515, targeting miscellaneous ambulatory health care services. Importantly, this RFI is solely for market research purposes, does not constitute a formal procurement, and does not guarantee future business opportunities for participating vendors. Responses should be submitted to eric.asper@va.gov and andrea.torrano@va.gov, with vendors encouraged to mark any proprietary information accordingly.
