About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 (VISN 15) issued a sole source justification notice for the procurement of 25 one-year organizational memberships to the National Association for Healthcare Quality (NAHQ) and associated training resources, with the contract awarded to NAHQ on April 20, 2026, for $30,000.00. The memberships provide VA St. Louis Health Care System staff access to NAHQ's online learning platform, educational content, and certification preparation materials for the Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality (CPHQ) exam, which is the only accredited healthcare quality certification in the United States. The contracting officer, Denise Maynard, justified the sole source award by establishing that NAHQ is the only nationally recognized organization capable of providing the standardized education, competency frameworks, and proprietary training resources required to meet the VA's workforce development objectives and national quality standards compliance. Market research confirmed that no alternative vendors offer equivalent comprehensive, evidence-based curriculum or certification pathways, and the price reasonableness was verified through comparison to an Independent Government Cost Estimate based on historical pricing and current price lists. NAHQ, located in Chicago, Illinois, was the sole source selected under the statutory authority of "Only One Source (except brand name)" for this professional and management development training acquisition.
