The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center is seeking Data Innovation software licenses, maintenance, and support services through a solicitation targeting Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB). The procurement specifically involves five Data Innovations (DI) Instrument Manager software licenses for Veterans Integrated Health Network (VISN) 17 locations, with an essential requirement to enable automatic laboratory test result downloads into VA's VistA system. The solicitation (36C10B25Q0037) falls under NAICS code 541519 for Other Computer Related Services and PSC code DA10 for IT and Telecom business application software services. Responses are due by February 3, 2025, at 3:30 PM Eastern Time, with contract specialist Robert Johnsen available for inquiries at robert.johnsen@va.gov or (848) 377-5349. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the documents, the justification suggests a focus on technical capability and unique software requirements.

The contract is exclusively set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, with Four Points Tech, LLC identified as the only authorized SDVOSB reseller for this procurement through NASA's SEWP V contract vehicle. The total estimated contract value, including the base period and four option periods, is $872,405.67, with the initial base period running from March 1, 2025, to February 28, 2026. Market research conducted by VA confirmed Data Innovations as the sole vendor capable of providing the required proprietary software, with alternatives deemed insufficient and potential system migration estimated to cost over $10 million and require 5+ years of implementation. The place of performance will be VISN 17 locations, with the procurement aimed at maintaining critical laboratory information management systems. The contract includes a base period and four potential 12-month option periods, providing flexibility for continued service.
