- Description
- The VA Palo Alto Health Care System (VAPAHCS) intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Bitscopic, Inc. The proposed contract action is for a one (1) year order for a biosurveillance solution called Praedico Healthcare Surveillance Analytics System, limited edition. It is a health informatics and analytics system which includes public health surveillance and works on Hadoop only and includes data extraction and processing feature-set. The license includes unlimited licenses to be used across the entire (and same) enterprise (like VA) for the purchased version and it expires after 12 months. Support is included with the purchase of the license. Praedico has the ability to accept, process, and utilize critical data domains (IC9, IC10, telephone care, lab data, and pharmacy). In addition, Praedico's predictive analytics greatly enhances the specificity of the data, reducing the error rate in the existing surveillance system. Ongoing influenza epidemic, the new emerging measles outbreak, and other emerging infections in our facilities such as Zika, Chikungunya virus and Dengue fever, have the potential for effecting VA. Additional requirements: "Shall have the approved capability to integrate with VAPAHCS existing BDaP platform in order to utilize the required VA data for performing public health surveillance monitoring across VHA medical centers. "Must provide functionality for VHA epidemiologists to perform lookback and outbreak investigations. "Shall provide the functionality for modernized statistical algorithms, advance data visualization, and integration capabilities for diverse data systems. Praedico has been approved by VA IT Technical Reference Model (TRM) as an acceptable software system to run within VA. This is an approved tool to complete the original VA/DoD approved Joint Initiative Fund Project. No other existing TRM approved tool or system has been identified that would meet this requirement. This sole source action is in accordance with FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B). Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES and no competitive solicitation will be issued; however, any firm that believes it can meet these requirements or provide an equal product may give written notification to the Contracting Specialist for consideration. Supporting evidence must be furnished in sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability to comply with the requirements. Responses are due by August 5, 2016 at 4:00 PM PST. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Responses must be e-mailed to gary.basile@va.gov. No telephone responses will be accepted. No reimbursement for any costs associated with providing capability statements will be provided by the Government.
