About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center Austin awarded a sole-source contract valued at $788,280.72 to Document Storage Systems, Inc. for DataBridge annual licenses, maintenance, support, integration, installation, and testing on October 1, 2026.
The contract, numbered 36C10B27C0004, is firm-fixed-price with a 12-month base period and one 12-month option period. The requirement includes six brand-name DSS DataBridge annual licenses supporting version upgrades to the Veterans Health Administration's clinical information system and anesthesia record keeping systems. The DataBridge solution provides real-time interfaces between Draeger ARK, CliniComp CIS, and VA's VistA system, enabling collection, integration, access, and reporting of clinical data including physiological data, medications, laboratory results, and patient assessments.
The sole-source justification rests on 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and FAR 6.103-1. Market research conducted May through September 2026 identified authorized resellers capable of providing software licenses only; DSS confirmed it performs 100 percent of required technical installation services associated with system upgrades, which resellers cannot perform. The Government will continue monitoring for alternative solutions and whether DSS authorizes third parties to perform technical services in future years.
