This is not a request for a proposal and does not guarantee the release of any solicitation.

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is seeking interested sources (contractors) for a near-future solicitation and procurement for Data Element Technical support services. At this time, no solicitation exists. Therefore, DO NOT REQUEST A COPY OF THE SOLICITATION. II. Background: The purpose of this contract is to secure technical services for the Health Data Systems (HDS) Portfolio, which is one of the six health information technology (IT) investment portfolios in the Office of Health Information's Enterprise Systems Management Office.
