It does not constitute a solicitation (Request for Proposal or Request for Quotation) nor a promise to issue a solicitation in the future. The information provided in response to this PSS is for discussion purposes only and any potential strategy that may be developed from these discussions would be subject of a separate, future announcement. The information received in response to this PSS may be utilized by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) in developing an acquisition strategy, and requirements documents (i.e. Statement of Objectives, Performance Work Statement, or Purchase Description). DLA requires that only non-proprietary information be submitted in response to this PSS.

DESCRIPTION: DLA Troop Support - Medical in Philadelphia anticipates possible award(s) to upgrade software and hardware for the Navy's current Radiology Voice Dictation System for 10 sites consisting of Contiguous United States (CONUS) locations and Outside Contiguous United States (OCONUS) locations. The award(s) will procure software and hardware to integrate with radiation dose monitoring software. This integration needs to integrate data from Radimetrics dose monitoring software into final reports. In addition to software and hardware upgrades, the award(s) will procure training for end user radiologists. This upgrade will coincide with the Navy's conversion of its user-based licensing structure to a volume based structure so that system administrators are able to create provider profiles without the assistance of the manufacturer. With this upgrade, the Navy is also seeking to purchase associated hardware to include microphones that will maximize the use of the software upgrade. The potential award(s) will not procure activation of peer review, or other functionality with this configuration. The Government plans to procure these items as commercial items through fixed priced award(s). There is currently one known source: Nuance Communications, Inc., Burlington, MA 01803 Essential Characteristics: -Vendor provided volume based licensing structure that can accommodate changes in provider numbers without having to purchase additional licenses -Vendor provided hardware configurations that function on approved operating systems (Windows Server 2008 R2, or later) -Software application is installed through web based client and does not use a specific version of Java Script -Software functions on diagnostic radiology workstations without any substantial system modification or configuration changes (can be easily installed by radiology personnel) -Vendor supports and has a Defense Information Systems Agency/Military Health Systems (DISA/MHS) approved Business to Business (B2B); B2B ensures 24/7 monitoring and maintenance support for each Military Treatment Facility (MTF) -Solution must have a working interface with Radiation Dose Monitoring software (Radimetrics) -Voice dictation speech engine can handle medical terminology -Software platform can be integrated into multiple Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) platforms (i.e. Agfa, Fuji, Carestream, McKesson) -Software can ingest data from radiation dose monitoring applications and transmit information into a standard report -System must make use of the Dragon Medical Speech engine v. 12.0 or higher -Hardware configurations can be performed by the vendor prior to shipment/installation -Application utilizes an industry standard HL7 feed; vendor has bi-directional HL7 feed that will improve the communications between Composite Health Care System (CHCS) and its servers -Vendor is approved to access CHCS' bi-directional HL7 feed and establish connections to its servers -Software application features an integrated assisted diagnostic function that enables providers to search for specific medical information from within the application to improve disease diagnostics -Software integrates critical test results management directly into the reporting process to ensure MTFs meet mandatory regulatory notification guidelines Based on responses to this PSS, it is anticipated that, at some future date, solicitation(s) may be issued to pursue opportunities for award(s). A pre-solicitation notice may be published in FedBizOpps prior to the release of any solicitation generated from the information gathered in response to this PSS.
