Requirement Description:
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is transforming the service it provides to Veterans through the MyVA effort. MyVA was established in July 2015 to modernize the Department s culture, processes, and capabilities to put the needs, expectations and interests of Veterans and their families first. This effort is highly visible, with significant attention within the highest levels of government, the public, and the press.
As this transformation progresses, VA's mission requirements to support America s Veterans are growing more quickly than its budget. Key elements of VA s expanded mission requirements include:
15% expansion in the number of Veterans enrolled in VA Healthcare from FY 2009 through FY 2016.
More than 100% increase between FY 2009 and FY 2016 in the number of 100% disabled Veterans cared for by VA.
6% increase in the number of medical appointments scheduled in FY 2016 vs FY 2014.
More than 300% increase between FY 2009 and FY 2016 in the number of Veterans receiving education benefits through the VA.
In order to ensure we are able to continue to provide Veterans with the benefits and care they have earned through their selfless service, VA is changing the way we do business. Specifically, we are improving the management of our supply chain to aggregate demand and facilitate ease of ordering in the field. Throughout VA, we are moving from local contracting to national contracting whenever feasible. Simplified ordering processes will drive volume towards suppliers with national contracts. Simultaneously, greater cost transparency throughout the VA will allow clinicians and VA leaders to select medical equipment that optimizes Veteran outcomes at the lowest cost.
For our suppliers, we anticipate that these changes will ease the process of doing business with the VA and drive down our suppliers costs. We welcome opportunities to work closely with suppliers to further reduce costs. In return, we expect that suppliers will offer the VA value commensurate with VA s status as the largest integrated healthcare provider in the United States. Specifically, VA expects that it will receive the most favorable prices, warranties, conditions, benefits, and terms for the same product as those given by the supplier to any provider in the country. We expect that VA s large volumes will increasingly be directed toward those suppliers best able to offer value to the VA. VA looks forward to collaborating with its suppliers to further drive down costs to deliver optimal value to our Veterans.
In light of this transformation, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Equipment Life Cycle Management (ELCM) Program identified the Phototherapy Units: Ultraviolet as a candidate for VA-wide (otherwise referred to as national ) single award Requirements contract - Phototherapy Units: Ultraviolet are designed to irradiate patients with ultraviolet (UV) light for therapeutic purposes.
