Engineered Care, Inc.

Engineered Care, Inc., a San Francisco-based for-profit software manufacturer, licenses proprietary patient care coordination and discharge planning software exclusively to the Department of Veterans Affairs across multiple Veterans Integrated Service Networks, operating exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract activity.

Engineered Care manufactures and distributes the Care Transitions Portal, a Vista-integrated discharge planning platform that generates customized patient-friendly After Hospital Care Plan booklets, medication lists, appointment calendars, and care coordination documents. The software integrates with VA electronic health record systems (VISTA/CPRS) and supports Section 508 accessibility, FIPS 140-2 encryption, and TIC 3.0 compliance standards. The company has positioned itself as the sole source vendor for this specialized VA discharge planning functionality — multiple sole-source procurements cite market research confirming Engineered Care is the exclusive commercial licensee of Project Green Light and the only known source capable of meeting VA functional requirements. Concrete recent work includes a $507.6 thousand definitive contract with the VA Technology Acquisition Center (April 2026) to license the Care Transitions Portal across six VISN 6 medical centers with installation, customization, testing, deployment, training, and 24/7 help desk support through April 2029; a $240 thousand Project RED discharge education software licensing contract (April 2025) through August 2030; and a $120 thousand definitive contract with VISN 6 (August 2026) for Vista-integrated discharge care plan portal services at Overton Brooks VA Medical Center in Shreveport, Louisiana, running through July 2031 with optional renewal periods.

Customer concentration is extreme and intentional: 73% of awards (38 of 52) derive from six VA entities. The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center Austin dominates by dollar value, holding 6 awards worth $1.7 million combined potential value. VISN 21 leads by award count with 14 awards (combined potential value $1 million), followed by VISN 8 with 9 awards ($686 thousand). Four additional VISNs (16, 17, 7, 2) and one additional VISN medical center round out the customer base. No other federal agencies appear in the award record. The portfolio reflects Engineered Care's exclusive positioning as VA's sole-source discharge planning software provider across regional healthcare networks.

Engineered Care operates under a single named parent vehicle: an indefinite delivery contract (36C24823D0063) with VISN 8 awarded February 10, 2023, with a $120 thousand ceiling through January 31, 2027. Four delivery orders have been issued under this IDV at $24 thousand each (February 2023, February 2024, February 2025, February 2026), each generating discharge patient care booklet subscriptions for VA facilities in the VISN 8 region. The majority of other awards are structured as direct purchase orders or definitive contracts against individual VISNs, not nested under centralized vehicles.

The recompete timeline shows modest near-term pressure: five awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $604 thousand. Activity has remained consistent but modest — one award in 2022, four in 2023, three in 2024, four in 2025, and five through September 2026 — reflecting steady incremental growth in VA regional adoption.

Primary NAICS coding reflects software publishing and custom computer programming (Custom Computer Programming Services, Other Computer Related Services, Software Publishers, and Computer Systems Design Services dominate the category mix). PSC coding runs heavily toward Information Technology Software, Medical and Surgical Instruments and Equipment, and IT business application software.

The Service Contract Inventory dataset captures minimal activity: five SCI records spanning FY2022–FY2025 (three as prime, two as named subcontractor) with zero SCI-reportable invoiced revenue above the $150 thousand reporting threshold during FY2023–FY2025. This reflects Engineered Care's business model of small-dollar software subscriptions and licenses that individually fall below SCI reporting thresholds, despite the vendor's 52-award prime footprint and $5.5 million combined potential value across the full contract portfolio. The vendor's combined dollars obligated stand at $3.2 million (57% of potential value), indicating selective exercise of option periods and subscription renewals.
