Intent to Sole Source Computrition Software Package for John J Pershing VAMC

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office (NCO) 15, intends to solicit and award a sole source, firm fixed price contract with one Large Business (LB) source, Computrition, Inc. This software is unique to nutrition services and is being used by approximately 80% of VA facilities, which allows an interface not possible with other software providers.

Nutrition Care Management Select software is proprietary to Computrition, Inc. This software will be linked to the same software at other facilities. Using another brand of software would mean that the John J. Pershing VAMC software would be unique to that facility. There would be no interaction with other facilities. Patient care could be jeopardized if the patient is transferred between facilities.

It is likely that an award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, and unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency s requirements.
