Request for Quote (RFQ) 36C10B25Q0207 is issued as a to fulfill a requirement for Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Infrastructure for Clinical Intelligence (DaVINCI) Data Services Sustainment support.

This action is a 100% Small Business set-aside under North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) Code 541511 – “Custom Computer Programming Services”. The size standard for NAICS 541511 is $34M; the Produce Service Code (PSC) is DC01 “It and Telecom - Data Center Support Services (Labor)”.

The mission of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Office of Information & Technology (OIT), and the Office of Research and Development, VA Informatics and Computing Infrastructure (VINCI) as a Resource Center is to provide researchers a nationwide view of high value VA patient data. VINCI is a research and development partnership and operational platform for health services research, epidemiology, decision support, and business intelligence. VINCI’s mission is to provide high-quality data, openly extensible information technology, and supporting services to generate and integrate new knowledge, methods, and technologies for research and medical-care communities to assess and improve Veterans’ healthcare andto provide benefits and services to Veterans. In meeting these goals, OIT strives to provide high quality, effective, and efficient Information Technology (IT) services to those responsible for providing care to the Veterans at the point-of-care, as well as throughout all the points of the Veterans’ health care in an effective, timely, and compassionate manner. VA depends on Information Management/Information Technology (IM/IT) systems to meet mission goals.

VINCI has partnered with the Department of Defense (DoD), Air Force Health Services Data Warehouse (HSDW), in a project known as the DoD and VA Infrastructure for Clinical Intelligence (DaVINCI). The goal of DaVINCI is to increase DoD-VA data integration for interagency collaboration and resource sharing in support of the Joint Strategic Plan and each agency’s healthcare and benefits missions.

DaVINCI is a robust program that delivers a powerful capability to analyze combined DoD and VA healthcare data, addressing the problems of inefficient, piecemeal approaches to sharing and analyzing data. DaVINCI deploys and evaluates solutions for governance, data integration, data security, analysis, and supercomputing to provide a solid foundation for integrated clinical and business intelligence platforms.  By allowing a more complete read-only view into a beneficiary’s records, DaVINCI can facilitate improved coordination of polytrauma patients and accelerated disability evaluations. By allowing more rapid analysis of many beneficiaries’ longitudinal records, this program can facilitate more accurate and efficient screening for syndromes such as traumatic brain injury and planning for joint activities such as inter-agency resource balancing of specialty-care.

As DaVINCI has matured and completed the Joint Incentive Fund project, this requirement is intended to continue to build and develop the DaVINCI resource. DaVINCI is a dynamic and complete longitudinal database, and a necessary resource for both DoD and Veterans Health Administration (VHA) research communities.
