About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 5, awarded a sole-source contract to Oak Ridge Associated Universities, Incorporated (ORAU) on April 1, 2026, for the continued hosting and maintenance of the Performance Improvement Management System (PIMS), a mission-critical system supporting emergency preparedness and response across all phases of emergency management for VA-wide operations. The contract, issued under Federal Supply Schedule Contract No. GS-00F-195CA, is structured as a three-year fixed-price agreement consisting of one 12-month base year valued at $1,363,002.78 and two optional 12-month periods, with a total contract value of $4,206,746.03. ORAU will continue to host PIMS on contractor-owned and operated servers while performing system maintenance to ensure operability and functionality throughout the contract term. The sole-source award was justified under GSAM/R 538.7104-3(b)(1)(ii) based on ORAU's unique status as the sole developer and custodian of PIMS, its proprietary ownership of the system's data, source code, and architecture, and the impracticality of transitioning to another vendor without unacceptable delays to critical VA operations.
