R499 - Assistance with the Development, Implementation and Report Generation along with a Single Sign On External (SSOe) Function

The War Related Illness and Injury Study Center (hereafter “DC WRIISC”) in Washington, DC, is a national post-deployment health resource for the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). The WRIISC develops and provides post-deployment health expertise to Veterans and their health care providers through clinical programs, education and risk communication, and research. The evolving nature of warfare and conflict in the 21st Century necessitates a proactive approach by the VA to respond to emerging threats to the health of military personnel. The DC WRIISC has been asked to start a new Center, the Complex Exposure Threats Center (CETC), to assist the VA’s rapid delivery of healthcare and benefits to Veterans. The CETC will help the VA take the lead on working with DoD and other partners to seek information related to toxic exposures, leveraging established knowledge on environmental toxins while acquiring new knowledge on specific Veteran health concerns. The mission of the CETC is to establish a rapid response infrastructure to evaluate the biological severity of environmental exposures with unknown pathology, and to develop and deploy healthcare solutions and protective measures. A key component of the mission statement for this Center is to capture the military occupational exposures of Veterans during their service periods and their health concerns. Through years of clinical and research experience, the DC WRIISC and CETC have developed a subjective reporting instrument to capture a Veteran’s exposure history known as the Veteran Military Occupational and Environmental Exposure Assessment Tool (VMOAT). The CETC is requesting the services of an experienced survey development and implementation company, to assist with the development, implementation, and report generation.
