Description

1 US Department of Veterans Affairs VistA Imaging Hardware, Software and Services Request for Information (RFI) Introduction This Request for Information (RFI) is issued for information and planning purposes only. This RFI does not constitute a solicitation, nor does it restrict the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to any acquisition approaches described in this document. In accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 15.201(e), responses to this RFI are not offers and cannot be accepted by VA to form a binding contract. The purpose of this RFI is to identify qualified contractors that can meet VA s requirements to expand the existing VistA Imaging storage environment which is comprised of brand name Hewlett Packard (HP) Hardware and Laurel Bridge Software (LBS). The acquisition of HP servers, HP drives, HP controllers, and Laurel Bridge Licenses will ensure interoperability and compatibility with the existing VistA Imaging System across the enterprise. The current VistA Imaging systems are installed locally in various sized VA medical facilities, grouped into 21 geographical Veterans Integrated Service Networks (VISNs), all of which acquire, store and retrieve medical image files in the course of their daily operations. Currently, the most active large VA medical facility utilizes approximately one Terabyte (TB) of storage per month, which is over twice what a typical large sized facility consumes. Some large VA medical facilities may be considered small, as they consume less than 50 gigabytes (GB) per month. The FDA has classified the VistA Imaging System as a Class I exempt medical device, and the use of VistA Imaging in a clinical setting is subject to the Quality System Regulation of the FDA under CFR ) Title 21 Part 820 and other Federal legislation.
