Digital Wellness Platform Memphis VAMC Whole Health

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 9 seeks a digital wellness platform for the Lt. Col. Luke Weathers Jr. VA Medical Center in Memphis. The platform must provide 24/7 interactive wellness services including yoga, tai chi, meditation, and mindfulness classes for veterans and VA employees through live, two-way video instruction. Key requirements include veteran-trauma focused professional instructors with specific credentials like Yoga Alliance e-RYT200 certification, accommodations for unlimited participants, robust data security, and de-identified usage metrics. The solicitation targets businesses under NAICS code 611620 and requires responses by March 14, 2025, at 12:00 PM Central Time. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on instructor qualifications, platform capabilities, security features, and ability to meet the VA's comprehensive wellness objectives.

The procurement potentially will be set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB), or other small businesses with a $9 million size standard. The contract period is planned for five years, spanning from May 1, 2025, to April 30, 2030, with a base year and four option years. While no specific incumbent is mentioned, the platform aims to address current staffing and space challenges in delivering wellness services, with the goal of reducing veteran community healthcare seeking, decreasing prescription costs, and improving employee wellness. The virtual platform will provide services for all veterans and employees, regardless of chronic conditions, with a focus on building resilience and encouraging overall health. The procurement represents a strategic approach to expanding wellness access without requiring additional physical infrastructure or staffing at the medical center.
