Background: Defense Health Agency (DHA), Vision Center of Excellence (VCE) uses Computer Software (as defined in FAR Part 2) licenses from Actuate for the BIRT Computer Software to support the Defense and Veterans Eye Injury and Vision Registry (DVEIVR) program by providing an analytics and data visualization platform. This Computer Software (OpenText BIRT) was integrated into the DVEIVR system following an extensive development process which included extensive integration of the Computer Software and also developing custom software code.
