D318--COVID-19: CuraPatient (VA-20-00081347)

The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center Austin is seeking information to develop a performance work statement for COVID-19 Care Plan Management Software as a Service. The cloud-based solution will utilize artificial intelligence to assist clinicians and patients in remotely managing COVID-19 through contact tracing, population health analytics, secure communication, and customized care plans. The software must integrate advanced AI and machine learning capabilities. Interested vendors were invited to review the draft performance work statement and provide feedback by September 25, 2020. The VA intends to use the information gathered for market research and potential acquisition planning.

There is no set-aside designation for this potential award. The software as a service solution will initially support approximately 700 patients and 10 clinicians each at two VA medical centers for 12 months, with an optional 12-month extension. Respondents to the RFI were asked to provide pricing models, experience serving federal agencies, hosting environment details, and ability to meet requirements like compliance with FedRAMP security standards. The response due date was extended to October 2, 2020 to allow additional time for industry feedback, though no specific budget or contract value was mentioned.
