About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 1 issued a notice of intent to sole source StepWatch Activity Monitor services to Modus Health LLC, with a capability statement submission deadline of July 31, 2026.
VA is procuring 12 months of continued StepWatch data processing, cloud analytics, mobile device management, remote training, and validated data cleaning services for the CSP2017 Pivotal Percutaneous Osseointegrated Prosthesis (POP) Study at Jamaica Plain VA Medical Center. The contract runs August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2027, at a total cost of $82,880.87. Uninterrupted continuation beginning August 1, 2026, is mission critical to the clinical trial's scientific validity, as the prior contract period ended July 8, 2026.
The sole source justification rests on Modus Health's exclusive ownership of the StepWatch system, including proprietary data processing algorithms, CSP-specific cloud environment, UDI-matched device compatibility, and validated longitudinal mobility metrics pipeline. Substituting any alternative vendor would require protocol changes, re-validation of study endpoints, and would break comparability with multi-year data collected under predecessor contract 36C24121P0844. This action is justified under FAR 13.106-1(b) and supports the VA's statutory research mission under 38 U.S.C. § 7303.
This notice is for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation. Interested parties who believe they can provide StepWatch-compatible services may submit a capability statement demonstrating ownership or licensing of compatible hardware and software, ability to provide CSP-specific datasets without protocol changes, and proven delivery capability.

NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE
Department of Veterans Affairs
Network Contracting Office 1 (NCO 1)
Notice ID: 36C24126Q0682
Proposed Awardee: Modus Health LLC
The Department of Veterans Affairs, NCO 1, on behalf of Jamaica VA Medical Center, intends to award a sole source contract to Modus Health LLC, 6100 219th St SW Suite 480 Mountlake Terrace, WA 98043 for continuation of StepWatch Activity Monitor data processing, cloud analytics, MDM services, remote training, and validated algorithmic data cleaning required for the CSP2017 Pivotal Percutaneous Osseointegrated Prosthesis (POP) Study conducted through Jamaica Plain VAMC.
The StepWatch system, including its proprietary data processing algorithms, CSP specific cloud environment, UDI matched device compatibility, and validated longitudinal mobility metrics pipeline, is uniquely owned and controlled by Modus Health and cannot be replicated or lawfully provided by any other vendor. Substituting another brand or analytics solution would require protocol changes, re validation of study endpoints, and would break comparability with multi year data already collected under previous contract 36C24121P0844. The prior period ended July 8, 2026, and uninterrupted continuation beginning August 1, 2026 is mission critical to the clinical trial s scientific validity. This action is therefore justified under FAR 13.106 1(b) as a sole source procurement, fully supporting VA s statutory research mission under 38 U.S.C. § 7303.
This notice is issued solely for information and planning purposes. It does not constitute a Request for Quote (RFQ), Invitation for Bid (IFB), or Request for Proposal (RFP).
Interested parties who believe they can provide StepWatch compatible services must submit a capability statement detailing:
Demonstrated ownership/licensing of StepWatch compatible hardware, software, and validated analytics
Ability to provide CSP-specific datasets without protocol changes or re validation
Proven capability to deliver identical proprietary outputs required by the POP Study
No solicitation will be posted.
