- Award Value: $57,781.12

Justification for Award
This award is based on a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity, citing Statutory Authority 41 U.S.C. 4106(c)(2). The justification states that only DSS's OPAI software can meet the government's needs due to its unique and specialized nature. Procuring an alternative software is estimated to take 17 months, and the VA has received 29 Joint Patient Safety Reports (JPSRs) in the past 18 months that could have been prevented by this software. Market research identified five authorized resellers, including Minburn Technology Group (SDVOSB) and Blue Tech, Inc (HubZone).
Additional Notes
The government will continue market research to identify opportunities for future competition.
