About this opportunity

The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center is conducting market research through a Request for Information (RFI) for Compounded Sterile Products (CSP) Compliance Software to support Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 (VISN 2) pharmacy operations across nine VA medical facilities in New York and New Jersey. The government intends to procure a fully functional Simplifi 797 Pharmacy Compounding Software system that includes modules for USP 795, USP 800, Compounding, and Simplifi+MedTrays, along with comprehensive training and support services. Key requirements include FedRAMP authorization, compliance with VA cybersecurity standards, PIV credential compatibility, IPv6 support, and robust security controls to replace current manual paperwork processes in pharmacy compounding areas. The VA has indicated its intent to award on a sole-source basis to Wolters Kluwer N.V., though this RFI is being issued to determine whether other vendors can provide equivalent or superior solutions meeting the specified technical and compliance requirements. The deadline for RFI responses is January 16, 2026 at 1:00 PM Eastern Time, and interested vendors should submit capability statements, company identification details, and pricing information demonstrating their ability to meet the draft Performance Work Statement requirements.

This procurement is not designated as a set-aside and carries no small business restrictions, though the applicable small business size standard for the Software Publishers NAICS category (513210) is $47 million in annual revenue. Wolters Kluwer N.V. is identified as the current sole-source incumbent based on the government's assessment that only one source is capable of providing the required services at the necessary quality level. The contract includes a 12-month base period with four optional 12-month extension periods, providing a potential total contract duration of 60 months if all options are exercised. While specific award values are not disclosed in the RFI, the comprehensive nature of the software implementation, training, and support across multiple VA facilities suggests a substantial contract value. This RFI constitutes market research only and does not represent a commitment to award a contract or reimburse respondents for submission costs.
