Description

The US Dept of Veterans Affairs, Great Lakes Acquisition Center, is planning to negotiate a sole source contract with Micromedex to obtain a one year subscription to bundled, intranet healthcare and medical information databases for the 7 VA VISN 12 Medical Centers in Wisconsin, the Chicago, Illinois area, and the upper peninsula of Michigan. This is considered to be a sole source because only the Micromedex product includes all the needed databases, such as: POISINDEX System (commercail, pharmaceutical, biological substance identification and management); IV INDEX System (with Trissel's Tables -- only electronic source of physical compatibility test results for parenteral medications); CareNotes System (patient education across the spectrum of care). It is essential that all needed information be available to clinicians quickly from a single, comprehensive system. Other sources that believe they can meet VA needs must furnish product information and references to this office by no later than 4:30 PM on June 25, 2001. Information may be mailed or it may be faxed to: 414-902-5440.
