Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) VISN 8, has issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a sole-source, firm-fixed-price task order to renew Computrition food services management software module licenses and associated technical support services. This action is being pursued under the General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) Contract Number 47QTCA21D005U.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for the continued provision of proprietary Computrition software modules and technical support, which are critical for inpatient meal delivery, food service management, and patient preference tracking within VA facilities. Key software modules include:
- Nutrition Care Management
- Foodservice Operations Management Pro
- Multi-Site Health Level Seven (HL7) interface
- TouchPoint Dining Gateway
- Hospitality Suite Single Sign-On
- Room Service Connect Plus
- Inventory Connect
- Tray InMotion
Technical support services are provided via toll-free telephone, Monday-Friday, 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM EST.
Integration & Compatibility
The Computrition software utilizes an HL7 interface for seamless integration with the VA's existing Computerized Medical Record System (CPRS) and Veterans Integrated System (VistA) patient databases. The software is proprietary and highly customized to the VA's infrastructure, making alternative solutions incompatible without extensive and costly redevelopment.
Contract & Timeline
- Contract Type: Sole-source, Firm-Fixed-Price Task Order under GSA FSS
- Product Service Code: DA10 (Support Services, SaaS or Subscription)
- Period of Performance:
- Base Period: 12 months (April 29, 2026 - April 28, 2027)
- Options: Two additional 12-month option periods, plus optional tasks.
- Published Date: May 4, 2026
Justification for Sole Source
The sole-source action is justified under FAR Overhaul VA Deviation 8.401(b) and GSAM/R 538.7104-3(b)(ii). Market research confirmed that Computrition is the sole authorized provider for selling, supporting, maintaining, or training on its proprietary software, which is uniquely integrated with the VA's critical IT systems (CPRS and VistA). No other sources were identified that could meet the VA's specific requirements, particularly the HL7 integration capabilities, without significant disruption and cost.
