The procurement will focus on professional services that include measure development, data collection, reporting, analysis, quality assurance, and training related to clinical performance evaluation. Key contract objectives involve conducting external reviews of medical records, testing and validating quality measures, and providing comprehensive performance insights aligned with national quality standards from organizations like the National Quality Forum and The Joint Commission. The VA will evaluate proposals through a full and open competitive process under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Parts 12 and 15, with the solicitation expected to be issued in the First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2025. Interested contractors should carefully review the draft Performance Work Statement and prepare responses according to the specific instructions that will be detailed in the forthcoming Request for Proposal (RFP).

The contract opportunity is not designated for any specific set-aside and will be open to all qualified contractors under NAICS code 813920 for Professional Organizations, with a size standard of $23.5 million. The Product/Service Code R410 covers professional program evaluation and review services, indicating the specialized nature of the required work.
