- Description
- The Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) intends to procure from Eclipsys Corporation on a sole source basis, a one-year software maintenance contract with 2 one-year options on the Eclipsys Transition II (TII=AE) software used by the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) for its Decision Support System (DSS). Provider of services must provide software maintenance services to include: (1)Periodic functional upgrades to the software and maintenance releases. (2)Support of the VHA sponsored internal DSS Help Desk. (3)Software customization requests. (4)Provide expert support services on TII=AE to the Director of Customer Service and staff for development of training and documentation materials for internal VA TII=AE training. (5)Support of the DSS Program staff with internal VA maintenance, development, and periodic changes required for the integration of VHA data systems into the TII=AE software. (6)Expert support services to the DVA Austin Automation Center (AAC) group charged with supporting all mainframe operations related to the software including, but are not limited to: (a)Pretesting of all database and application upgrades and maintenance releases. (b)Establishment and maintenance of all production, test, and training regions. (c)Twenty-four hour coverage of processing problems. (d)Development of specialized routines and processes. (7)Support of VHA committees charged with the oversight of the DSS application including attendance at meetings, generation of reports, and other specialized assignments. (8)Software warrantee precludes changes to the TII=AE software by any entity other than Eclipsys Corporation. Activities described will require the provider of these services to have the right to change software code either to correct software problems, or to alter the software to accommodate changes resulting from requirement unique to the VA, or to create changes in functionality required by the VA. The provider of the required software must have extensive and current knowledge of the VA Transition TII=AE Decision Support System; the specific VA customized code sets; and the VA data systems, which provide data to DSS. It is anticipated that a firm-fixed price contract for 1-year with 2 option years will be awarded. See Note 22. The proposed contract action is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. Only written responses will be considered. Responses must include sufficient documentation to allow this office to evaluate the possibility that your firm has the capability to submit a valid proposal. This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals. However, the Government will consider all proposals received within five calendar days of publication of this notice. A determination by the Government to open competition based on written responses received is solely with the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
