About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center awarded contract 36C10B26C0084 to Vertical Design Inc. for $7,134,146.50 on September 8, 2026, for design, development, and research support of mental health mobile applications.
The contract runs from September 29, 2026, through September 28, 2027, with three optional 12-month renewal periods and four optional tasks. Scope includes hosting and operational support of Vertical Design's proprietary cloud-hosted platform on Amazon Web Services GovCloud; maintenance of approximately 37 existing mobile applications; development of one new research-enabled mobile application; one major update to an existing application; and continued integration of applications to support anonymized user research and data collection. The award was made as an 8(a) sole source under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), based on Vertical Design's exclusive ownership of the proprietary source code, development framework, and data structure necessary to operate the existing mobile application ecosystem for the National Center for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. Market research in February 2026 and an RFI posted July 20, 2026, determined competing vendors incapable of meeting requirements. The contracting office is in Eatontown, New Jersey. PSC code is DA01 (Software Development Services); NAICS code is 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services).
