About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center seeks design, development, and research support for mental health mobile applications under an 8(a) sole source award to Vertical Design, Inc., with proposals due September 1 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The procurement is restricted to Vertical Design based on its exclusive ownership of proprietary source code and cloud-hosted development framework deemed essential for continued operations and data integrity; market research and a prior Request for Information confirmed no competing vendors can meet all requirements without a complete system overhaul entailing minimum five-year timelines and substantial cost duplication.
Place of performance is United States. The contracting office is located in Eatontown, New Jersey. The contract is firm-fixed-price with a 12-month base period (September 29, 2026 through September 28, 2027) and three optional 12-month renewal periods, plus four optional task orders. Scope encompasses hosting and operational support of approximately 37 existing mobile applications deployed on Amazon Web Services GovCloud, including PTSD Coach, CBTi Coach, Mindfulness Coach, and Prolonged Exposure Therapy Coach; development of one new research-enabled application and one major update to an existing application; and integration of all applications into Vertical's proprietary development framework. Applications operate on iPhone and Android, collect anonymized usage data to support VA and NIH-funded clinical research trials, and maintain both research and public versions. The NAICS code is 541512, Computer Systems Design Services. The PSC is DA01, IT and Telecom - Business Application/Application Development Support Services (Labor). Submissions are accepted only via email to Ana.Subashi@va.gov and Kendra.Casebolt@va.gov, with all offers referencing RFP 36C10B26R0054 in the subject line.
