36C255-25-AP-0632 AcuStaf Nurse Scheduling Software Updates

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 has issued a Special Notice announcing their intent to award a sole source contract for AcuStaf Nurse Scheduling Software Updates. This notice, designated as solicitation number 36C255-25-AP-0632, was posted on January 23, 2025, with a due date of July 22, 2025. The procurement is set aside as a Veteran Sole Source opportunity and falls under NAICS code 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) with a size standard of $34 million. The contracting office is located in Leavenworth, Kansas, and the opportunity has been amended once to correct the contracting officer's location information. This special notice serves as formal notification to the contracting community of the government's procurement intentions.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform potential contractors that the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 15 intends to award a sole source contract directly to AcuStaf Development Corporation for updates to their proprietary nurse scheduling software currently in use at VHA VISN 15. The procurement will be conducted under FAR Part 13.5 without competitive solicitation due to the proprietary nature of the existing software system. Interested parties seeking additional information or clarification are instructed to contact Teresa Cabanting, the Contracting Officer, via email at teresa.cabanting@va.gov. The contract falls under the PSC category 7A21 (IT and Telecom - Business Application Software Perpetual License Software), indicating this involves software licensing and updates rather than new system development. Given the sole source nature and veteran set-aside designation, participation is limited to the identified vendor, AcuStaf Development Corporation, though the notice provides transparency to the broader contracting community about the government's procurement intentions.
