About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs published a Special Notice of intent to sole source a contract to Logical Images, Inc. DBA VisualDX. The VA requires a subscription to VisualDX, a diagnostic decision support system that assists providers in diagnosing over 3,000 conditions through medical images and clinical guidance.
The Special Notice aims to procure a subscription to VisualDX to provide nationwide access for all VA Central Office Library staff and employees. This will improve clinical decision making across the VA healthcare system. The notice set a deadline of September 2, 2021 for any contractors who believed they could meet requirements to submit a response, though as VisualDX's copyrighted content cannot be licensed through third parties, the VA intends to award sole source to the developer.

No other contractors were deemed able to fulfill the need for the specialized diagnostic content within VisualDX.
