Set-Aside / Eligibility
This acquisition is justified as a sole source to VetsEZ. Market research indicated no other sources capable of meeting the unique interoperability and compatibility requirements with existing VA systems (VDIF middleware, VistA EHR, CPRS GUI) without significant redevelopment costs and risks. Consequently, the action cannot be set-aside for SDVOSB, VOSB, or any other socioeconomic group.
Submission & Evaluation
This document is a justification for a sole-source award, not a solicitation. Therefore, there are no proposal submission or evaluation instructions.
Additional Notes
- The original equipment manufacturer (OEM) is Bamboo Health (formerly Appriss).
- VetsEZ is identified as the sole authorized reseller capable of providing the necessary sustainment services.
- Failure to utilize this solution would negatively impact the quality of care for veterans, potentially leading to a return to manual processes, affecting patient safety, and increasing workload.
