Picis Clinical Solutions, Inc.

Picis Clinical Solutions, Inc., a foreign-owned subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group Incorporated based in Peabody, Massachusetts, delivers proprietary clinical information systems and anesthesia record-keeping software to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor on a 100% non-set-aside basis, with no subcontractor engagement. The company operates exclusively as a prime across 260 federal awards tracked in the source data, competing full-and-open against other healthcare IT vendors without leveraging any small-business set-asides.

Picis' federal footprint centers on three core software platforms: the PICIS computerized patient record system, the ARK anesthesia record-keeping system, and the ENVISION analytics platform. These systems anchor 209 awards under NAICS 541512 (Custom Computer Programming Services), with the remainder split across computer repair and maintenance (33 awards) and software publishing work (4 awards). Capability work spans software licensing, implementation, maintenance, technical support, training, and database administration services. Representative contract awards include a $9.96 million BPA call with Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 (VISN 8) for PICIS Software Service and Maintenance through November 2026, a $6.74 million VISN 4 task order for CIS ARK Maintenance through September 2026, a $6.1 million VISN 16 contract for ARK Systems hardware and software support through October 2026, and a $5.83 million VISN 21 task order for PICIS CIS and ARK system maintenance through September 2026. Recent smaller task orders include a $534.7 thousand VISN 21 delivery for Clinical Information System/Anesthesia Record Keeping Analytics Solution (July 2024–July 2026) and a $282.2 thousand VISN 6 ARK Solution call (March–July 2026).

Customer concentration is heavily concentrated in the VA. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration accounts for substantially all awards, with VISN 6 leading by award count at 43 awards ($14.6 million combined potential value), followed by VISN 8 (25 awards, $31.2 million), VISN 10 (24 awards, $18.3 million), VISN 21 (23 awards, $15.5 million), and VISN 2 (22 awards, $8.8 million). When measured by potential value, VA Headquarters (2 awards, $56.7 million) anchors the portfolio, followed by VISN 8 ($31.2 million), VISN 4 ($20.6 million), VISN 10 ($18.3 million), and VISN 21 ($15.5 million). The top five customer entities account for 59% of combined potential value across all 260 awards.

Picis holds three primary parent vehicles anchoring its federal work. The single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement 36C10G21A0007, valued at $32.875 million and effective through July 31, 2026, carries 41 task orders generating $55.5 million in combined potential value; this parent BPA was negotiated on a sole-source basis due to the proprietary nature of Picis' existing systems. The Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) hosts 60 task orders ($16.5 million combined potential value), primarily for PICIS SMARTRACK AND OR MANAGER SYSTEM, PICIS license software, and related delivery orders. Blanket Purchase Agreement VA11916A0163 (49 task orders, $33.1 million combined potential value) and Federal Supply Schedule GS35F0503R (32 task orders, $19.7 million combined potential value) round out the vehicle portfolio. An indefinite delivery contract (VA24612D0067) carries 14 task orders generating $6.6 million.

Activity has remained steady year over year but is trending flat to slightly declining — 12 awards in 2024, 7 in 2025, and 4 in 2026 (through mid-July). Eighteen awards with ultimate completion dates falling within the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $49.5 million, representing near-term recompete exposure. SCI-reported invoicing across federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold shows $8 million in FY2024 and $595 thousand in FY2023, with roughly 1.0 FTEs delivered to federal accounts in FY2024 and 0.4 FTEs in FY2023. On government-paid rates for SCI-reportable prime contracts, the median ran around $1,846.52 per hour, with senior labor pricing extending through $4,617.53 per hour and junior rates around $691.32 per hour. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, Picis performed 100% of hours with no named subcontractor engagement, indicating a build-to-suit delivery model with internal staffing rather than a subcontractor-dependent supply chain.
