DA01--FY26 DICOM Router - Order with Options (VA-26-00081952)

The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center is conducting a Request for Information on Laurel Bridge Compass DICOM router software licenses and maintenance support, with RFI responses due by August 28, 2026. The VA intends a brand-name procurement for this specific product, though vendors may propose functionally equivalent alternatives with detailed capability matrices.

The procurement supports VA's Electronic Health Record Modernization Integration Office during transition of legacy systems (Vista EMR, Radiology PACS, Cardiology PACS) to the new Federal EHR Oracle Health Multimedia Storage Vendor Neutral Archive. The base period covers 12 months with two 12-month option periods under firm fixed-price terms. Initial deployment requires 32 active DICOM router bundles, 16 test/development bundles, PowerTools utilities, and Lighthouse monitoring software across 16 specified VA sites in VISN 4 (Pennsylvania) and VISN 17 (Texas). Professional services include planning, installation, connectivity and modality integration testing, and go-live support. Option periods entail annual software maintenance. Optional deliverables extend to approximately 150 additional VA facilities nationwide and include additional router bundles, Navigator image sharing software, Waypoint worklist management, and extended support packages at various transaction volumes.

Contractor personnel must undergo background investigations and training. All solutions must comply with VA Technical Reference Model, Zero Trust security controls, Section 508 accessibility standards, IPv6 support, Trusted Internet Connection requirements, and SSN reduction mandates. Responses must include company information, DUNS number, NAICS codes, socioeconomic data, and proof of relevant certifications. Submit responses to jane.bednarczyk@va.gov; questions due August 27, 2026, at 4:00 PM EST.
