About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Regional Procurement Office East issued a pre-solicitation notice on August 25, 2026 announcing its intent to award a sole-source contract to Evolvable Solutions, LLC for online clinical decision support tool development and maintenance, with a response deadline of September 1, 2026 at 11:59 AM Eastern Time; this notice has been cancelled.
The sole-source award under FAR 6.302-1 would provide technical services to the Rehabilitation Research and Development Team at the Center for Limb Loss and Mobility (CLiMB) at VA Puget Sound Healthcare System in Seattle. The requirement encompasses developing a new web-based clinical decision support tool and maintaining Evolvable Solutions' existing suite of online tools, which currently serve over 8,000 unique users across the VA healthcare system. The government's justification for sole-source award rests on Evolvable Solutions' unique continuity and subject matter expertise: the company's principals previously worked for Evergreen Design LLC, which developed the AMPREDICT, PROPREDICT, and SARC prediction models under current contract 36C24E23P0149 (expiring September 27, 2026). Because the new tool must integrate with the existing web portal and require complex algorithm and statistical integration across platforms, the government determined only Evolvable Solutions possesses the specific expertise and institutional knowledge to ensure consistent clinician access and proper implementation. Interested parties may submit capability statements to Contracting Officer Millicent Covert at millicent.covert@va.gov, though the government retains discretion to proceed with sole-source award regardless of responses received.

This notice is cancelled.
Pre-Solicitation Notice for the notice of intent to award a sole source contract. This is not a solicitation. Regional Procurement Office (RPO) East Research and Development Contracting Division intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, pursuant to FAR 6.302-1, with Evolvable Solutions, LLC, 2231 Shadow Oaks Road, Sarasota, Florida, 34240-9327 for online clinical decision support tool development and maintenance to provide technical services for the Rehabilitation Research and Development Team at the Center for Limb Loss and MoBility (CLiMB), VA Puget Sound Healthcare System (Seattle). There are very few web-based decision support tools, and even fewer tools that integrate tailored statistics and complex algorithms across platforms. Over the years, Evergreen Design LLC has created several complex online tools that are utilized daily for VHA nationwide. Specifically, Evergreen Design has worked with the Seattle Research & Development team and created an assemblage of online tools, which currently serves over 8000 unique users in clinical context. The owner of Evergreen Design has retired, and the subject matter experts under Evergreen Design formed Evolvable Solutions, LLC. With its combination of software engineering and web-development skills specific to decision aids and decision support tools, Evolvable Solutions experience and ability to overcome implementation issues will help ensure that the final product can and will be used in a clinical context. The AMPREDICT, PROPREDICT and SARC prediction models were developed under Contract 36C24E23P0149, which is in its third year of performance and will expire 9/27/2026. Given that the proposed new tool would be developed and accessed from the web portal already created and maintained by the programmers under the current contract, it is integral that Evolvable Solutions creates the new tool, as well as provide continued maintenance of the R & D team s suite of tools, such that clinician access remains consistent and uncompromised across all tools. This is a notice of intent and is not a request for competitive quotes; however, any responsible source who believes they are qualified to meet this unique need may submit a capability statement to the contracting office no later than Tuesday, September 1, 2026, 11:59AM Eastern Time. Interest/capability statements may be sent to Millicent Covert at millicent.covert@va.gov. No telephone responses will be accepted. A determination not to compete the proposed requirement based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
