- Description
- VISN 3 seeks Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, Veteran Owned Small Business, 8a Business, HUB Zone Business, and Small Business sources capable of implementing a VISN-wide PACS with a single database, such that any image obtained at ANY VISN 3 site is easily accessible from any OTHER VISN 3 site and such that a list of prior imaging exams for any given patient includes imaging exams performed at ALL VISN 3 facilities. VISN 3 may wish to Regionalize/Federate interpretation of imaging studies across different VISN ™s or non Philips iSite Radiology PACS vendors and therefore needs a PACS that makes this not only possible, but easy to accomplish with minimal advance notice or complexity to the End User Radiologist or the IT staff to pre-configure. The proposed PACS shall interface with the VA VistA (via HL7 and/or DICOM) so as to be able to ensure we receive patient and exam information, either directly or through imaging equipment as an intermediary. The PACS shall then be capable of communicating imaging reports back to the VA VistA Radiology/Nuclear Medicine package, either directly or via an integrated Radiology Voice Recognition System. The proposed PACS shall be capable of a high degree of integration with a Radiology Voice Recognition System, such as PowerScribe, Commissure or comparable third party vendor. The proposed PACS will need to uniquely identify each imaging study, regardless of the site of origin. Images from the PACS shall be viewable throughout the enterprise via a web-based viewer. Vendor shall guarantee 99.99% up-time on the system, with financial penalties for non-compliance. System up-time shall be defined as availability of exam images to the End-User. Vendors must be able to provide a PACS that will include: maintenance and upgrades of all included hardware and software, additional server(s) and storage capacity required to meet the needs of VISN 3, continuous remote monitoring of the PACS hardware and software through a VA-approved VPN connection, location of all equipment on VA premises or other locations as determined by VISN 3, compliance with all applicable VA security and privacy regulations, as well as applicable non-VA laws and regulations, such as HIPAA, and a complete Disaster Recovery solution. It is anticipated that the contract for these services will begin on October 1, 2010 and be let for one base year and four option years. Please submit the following information no later than June 11, 2010 @ 2:00PM (EST) to Stephanie Morreale, Contracting Officer via email at stephanie.morreale@va.gov or mail at James J. Howard OPC, 970 Rt. 70, Brick, NJ 08724: (1) Capability Statement; (2) A list of your last three relevant contracts with a point of contact for each. Please note that these contacts may be called and used as a reference. This is not a request for proposals and no award will be made as a result of submissions in response to this request. The Department of Veterans Affairs is not responsible for preparation or transmission costs.
