Two potential SDVOSB authorized distributors identified are J.E. Federal and Graham Advisory Network.

The contract requires 24/7 technical support, usage statistics in COUNTER R5 format, and Section 508 compliance. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the procurement is for a firm-fixed-price contract covering all VISN 1 sites, including VPN and remote access capabilities.
