About this opportunity
This Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice from the Department of Veterans Affairs Strategic Acquisition Center proposes a bridge contract award to IT Concepts, Inc., the incumbent service-disabled veteran-owned small business, to provide Veterans Health Information Exchange professional and technical support services valued at $1,743,915. The justification cites 38 U.S.C. 8127(c) and FAR 6.302-5 as the authority for the noncompetitive award as IT Concepts is the verified SDVOSB incumbent able to provide the required program management, clinical informatics, performance management, and community outreach expertise to support the VHIE program from March 29 through July 28, 2023, enabling the program to improve and expand VA's ability to securely share health information.
Notice text
This requirement provides professional and technical management services for the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Office of Health Informatics (OHI) Clinical Informatics and Data Management Office (CIDMO) and their VHIE Portfolio of Programs.
In accordance with 819.7007(b), the determination to make a sole source award to an SDVOSB is a business decision wholly within the discretion of the Contracting officer; therefore, the requirement to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as practicable is not applicable to this procurement. In addition, 819.7007(c) further authorizes the Contracting officer to make the award without first determining that only one SDVOSB source can meet the requirement.
The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 41 U.S.C.§ 253(c)(5) as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 6.302-5 entitled, “Authorized or required by statute”. The applicable statute is Public Law 109-
461: “Veterans Benefits, Health Care, and Information Technology Act of 2006” specifically, the “Veterans First Contracting Program” outlined in 38 USC § 8127(c).
Awarded contract 36C10X23C0019 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2023-03-29.
