About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration intends to solicit middleware that can ingest 12-lead ECG data from bedside patient monitoring systems, format it into Oracle Health Record-compatible DICOM structure, and deliver it to VA endpoints, with a Request for Information due September 3, 2026. This is a market-research RFI only; no contract award is anticipated.
The VA seeks to standardize integration of four patient monitoring interface workflows—discrete vitals, patient demographics, telemetry waveform strip reporting, and bedside 12-lead ECG studies—across the enterprise. The VA has resolved integration pathways for three workflows; the 12-lead ECG formatting middleware represents the remaining gap. The solution must be an existing commercial off-the-shelf product rather than custom development due to time constraints.
Required capabilities include ingestion of raw 12-lead ECG waveform data and patient demographics from modern bedside monitors (Philips MX800, GE Carescape B450, Spacelabs Qube, and other major manufacturers), processing studies in under 10 seconds with near-real-time operation, durable queuing and recovery mechanisms, and deployment across approximately 172 VA hospitals supporting up to 20,000 bedside monitors. Responses must address system architecture, Oracle Health and Cerner EHR integration experience, compatibility across major monitor manufacturers (Philips, SpaceLabs, GE, Nihon Koden, Mindray, Draeger), and rough order of magnitude pricing. Respondents must submit a one-page cover sheet, index page, and five-page maximum capability statement to kevin.pendleton@va.gov by 4:30 PM EST, September 3, 2026. NAICS code 334510 applies. Place of performance spans VA Medical Centers and associated Primary, Secondary, and Community Based Outpatient Clinics.

Update #2 · Latest ·
**REVISED** The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration (VHA) has identified BEDSIDE PATIENT MONITORING SYSTEMS (BPMS) as candidate items for integration standardization. In support of this effort, standard pathways for each data source (e.g. discrete vitals, electrocardiogram [ECG]) are being defined and built out for all sources of BPMS patient data.
The proposed solution for BPMS aims to consolidate the diverse array of existing solutions into a unified integration point that streamlines data capture, exchange, and consumption across the enterprise. This standardized approach will enhance patient safety, improve clinical workflow efficiency, enable a wider variety of facility-specific point-of-care solutions based on facility needs while maintaining standard integration, and ensure accurate data integration, while providing a reliable monitoring experience. Four interface workflows support patient monitoring: discrete vitals, patient demographics, telemetry waveform strip reporting, and bedside 12-lead ECG studies. With standardization of these interfaces, information flow from disparate BPMS into the Federal EHR will be consistent across different point-of-care devices. While the VA has worked out integration solutions for three of the four, a need exists for middleware that can ingest 12-lead ECG data from BPMS, format it, and deliver it to the appropriate endpoint.
