The National Veterans Golden Age Games needs an effective mechanism comprised of an external website and internal database that will allow Veterans to register via internet for its annual multi-event sports competition. Registration numbers range from 800 - 1000 (athletes, coaches, and caregivers) each year. Currently the registration forms are completed by the Veteran and /or VAMC coach/ staff and sent to the Host Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) to be scanned and the data for each Veteran entered by staff and/or volunteers. The process has become burdensome for the Host VAMC site requiring over 3,500 hours of VA Staff and volunteers to process the applications an average of 30 - 60 minutes per application. Approximate cost for current registration process is over $67,000.00 in staff hours. Because online registration is part of a comprehensive plan for meeting the paperwork reduction act requirements, high availability, ease of access for Veterans, and high efficiency, it is imperative that the vendor have past experience with a senior multi-sports event with age divisions and classifications, to enable them to hit the ground running. The vendor should have broad understanding of existing modules to provide,automating daily taks, live results, competition management, accommodations, travel reports and other requirements necessary for successful implementation of the event and a reduction of staff time at the the Local medical facility. As a result, past performance and expertise in management of the National Senior Games was a major consideration for this market research. 2.3REPORTING REQUIREMENTS The Contractor shall provide the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) with Weekly Progress Reports in electronic form in Microsoft Word and Project formats.

The report shall also identify any problems that arose and a description of how the problems were resolved. If problems have not been completely resolved, the Contractor shall provide an explanation including their plan and timeframe for resolving the issue. It is expected that the Contractor will keep in communication with VA accordingly so that issues that arise are transparent to both parties to prevent escalation of outstanding issues.
