- Notice of Intent to Sole Source DirectTrust Agent Accreditation Program FBO Notice: VA701-16-N-0121 The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Program Contract Activity Central (PCAC) intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2), "Only One Responsible Source Available, no other source will satisfy agency requirements." The VA intends to solicit and negotiate with Electronic Healthcare Network Accreditation Commission (EHNAC), Farmington, CT 06032; to provide DirectTrust Agent Accreditation Program (DTAAP) re-certification of existing technology that enables health information exchange with Commercial/Private, Civilian Government, and Department of Defense sectors through hands-on projects using an assortment of frameworks and methodologies. For health care professionals, patients, and others to take advantage of Directed exchange of health information, Health Information Service Providers (HISPs) must coordinate the roles of Certificate Authorities (CAs), and Registration Authorities (RAs), while carrying out the responsibility for managing the intricate parts of the deployment of digital certificates and of managing public and private keys, which are necessary for Directed exchange subscribers to be assured of consistent privacy, security, and trust. Together, HISPs, CAs, and RAs are known as Trust Agents for the deployment and adoption of Directed exchange. In March 2010, as a part of the Nationwide Health Information Network ("NwHIN"), the Direct Project was created to specify a simple, secure, scalable, and standards-based way for participants to send authenticated, encrypted health information directly to known, trusted recipients over the Internet, enabling interoperable, secure messaging in the healthcare industry ("Industry"). Those Direct Project specifications and protocols are now known as the Direct Standard, which meets a federal requirement for Meaningful Use Stage 2 as laid out by ONC and CMS in recently promulgated regulations and rules; "Directed exchange" is the term used for this secure communication. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. No solicitation document is available and telephone requests will not be accepted. However, any responsible source who believes it is capable of meeting the requirement may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency, only if received by the closing date and time of this notice. A determination not to compete the proposed requirement based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Responses to this notice are due on or before Thursday June 23, 2016 at 12:00PM Eastern Local Time by email to Jacquelyn.Wise@va.gov and Laurie.Walker@va.gov. Points of contact for this notice are Jacquelyn Wise, Contract Specialist and Laurie Walker, Contract Officer. Email addresses listed above. Contracting Office Address: Department of Veterans Affairs Program Contract Activity Central 6150 Oak Tree Blvd Suite 300 Independence, OH 44131
