AN41--Data Management and Analysis for TRACK-VA Study

Tender summary

Pre-Solicitation Notice for the notice of intent to award a sole source contract. This is not a solicitation. Regional Procurement Office (RPO) - East intends to negotiate a sole source contract for a one (1) year base period to include one (1) option year with QuesGen Systems, Inc., located at 1325 Howard Avenue, #437, Burlingame, California, 94010, for the San Francisco VA Healthcare System for continued hosting services, maintenance, and as-needed technical support of the existing TRACK-VA database; data quality monitoring; and secure user access for authorized study personnel throughout the completion of TRACK-VA activities. These services are essential to ensure uninterrupted data collection, management, and analysis for the VA funded TRACK-VA project through the end of recruitment, follow-up, and final data analyses, which are expected to continue through late 2027/early 2028. Because the TRACK-VA database is already established and nearly complete on the QuesGen Systems, Inc. platform, transitioning to an alternative data management and analysis system is not operationally or financially feasible. Establishing a new contract and recreating the database on a different platform would incur substantial costs for duplicative effort (e.g.: data migration, system configuration, revalidation, and staff retraining), require extensive personnel effort for data transfer and quality control, and introduce a projected 3 6-month delay in the study progress. These disruptions would create a significant risk to data integrity and continuity. Furthermore, the VA-funded TRACK-VA study is in its final year of recruitment and follow-up, and the project team is currently focused on data processing and analysis. A change in the data management system at this stage would impose a considerable burden on project staff and would jeopardize the timely completion of the study s scientific aims. Since the intent is to procure this on a sole source basis, no solicitation will be posted to SAM.gov Contract Opportunities. The applicable NAICS code is 518210, with a $40M size standard. The PSC is AN41. The authority for this action is FAR 6.302.1-1 Only One Responsible source, and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Interested persons may contact the Contracting Officer via email at millicent.covert@va.gov regarding this procurement. The determination to conduct a competitive procurement based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer.
