1.0 INTRODUCTION

THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) as market research to determine the availability of vendors that have the capability to support VA in providing a Provider Directory in support of active and non-active Community Care Providers.

This RFI constitutes neither a Request for Quote (RFQ), Request for Proposal (RFP), nor a guarantee that one will be issued by the Government in the future; furthermore, it does not commit the Government to contract for any services described herein. The VA is not, at this time, seeking proposals or quotes, and therefore, will not accept, review, or evaluate unsolicited proposals or quotes received in response hereto. This notice is not to be construed as a commitment on the part of the Government to award a contract, nor does the Government intend to pay for any information submitted because of this request. The Government does not reimburse respondents for any costs associated with submission of the information being requested or reimburse expenses incurred for responses to this RFI.

The information provided may be used by VA in developing its acquisition strategy Product Description (PD) or Performance Work Statement (PWS). Any information submitted by respondents to this RFI is strictly voluntary. Interested parties are responsible for adequately marking proprietary, restricted, or competition sensitive information contained in their response. This is a request for information and does not obligate the Government in any way, nor does it commit the Government to any specific course of action. Product information, brochures, part numbers, and/or other description information may be included with the submission.

This notice is issued solely for information and planning purposes. No funds have been authorized, appropriated, or received for this effort.

2.0 BACKGROUND

A consolidated provider directory capability is needed to enable VA, Veterans, and Beneficiaries to find and schedule care with community care providers with accurate and timely data. The goal of VA s Provider Directory will be to display a comprehensive listing of all providers and accommodate scalability for future growth of VA programs and other related program initiatives needed to enhance access to care for Veterans and beneficiaries.

VA is seeking input from industry based on best practices related to a comprehensive provider directory and additional feedback on areas VA should consider related to optimizing VA s ability to find providers and support access to care for Veterans and beneficiaries.

3.0 REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

In response to this RFI, VA Integrated Veteran Care seeks to gain industry feedback on the DRAFT Product Description (PD) and To-Be Architecture in support of a robust provider directory. Please respond with suggested approaches/ recommendations to the attached PD, To-Be Architecture diagram, Vendor Questions, and RFI Respondent Information. Responses should not exceed 7 pages, single-spaced standard 1-inch margins and in a 12-point font. Responses to this RFI shall be submitted via email, with filename - directoryrfi-name of your company - to William.Freer@va.gov, debra.clayton2@va.gov and kyle.maccia@va.gov no later than May 28, 2025 at 3 PM EDT.
