This is not a request for proposal or a request for quote. There is no solicitation document available. This is a notice of intent of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) at Austin Automation Center (AAC) to negotiate a sole source contract with Eclipsys Corporation of Boston, MA, for a one-year software maintenance contract with 2 one-year options. This service is for the Eclipsys Transition II (TII?) software used by the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) for its Decision Support System (DSS).
