DA10--Healthcare Provider Credentialing and Privileging Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Credentialing-as-a-Service (CaaS) (VA-26-00054853)

This document is a modification to a previous notice, specifically a Request for Information (RFI) for Healthcare Provider Credentialing and Privileging Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Credentialing-as-a-Service (CaaS) (VA-26-00054853). The purpose of this amendment is to clarify that due to a transmittal issue, the initial RFI description was not easily readable. Potential respondents are now directed to review two attached documents that clearly articulate the Government's intent and request for industry information. All other terms and conditions of the original RFI remain unchanged. The solicitation number is 36C10B26Q0275, with a response date of April 3, 2026, at 12:00 PM Eastern Time. The contracting office is the Department of Veterans Affairs, Technology Acquisition Center in Eatontown, NJ.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) released a Request for Information (RFI) for Healthcare Provider Credentialing and Privileging Services (SaaS) and Credentialing-as-a-Service (CaaS). The RFI seeks industry input on a new effort, confirming the April 3rd deadline for vendor responses. Key inquiries from vendors include clarification on the acquisition strategy (e.g., small business set-aside), data migration specifics (requesting data dictionaries for VistA), and an extension to the RFI deadline, which the VA denied. Vendors also inquired about the anticipated period of performance, current credentialing processes, integration with existing systems like VistA, and expected user numbers. The VA clarified that FedRAMP authorization is a firm requirement, though the specific level is yet to be determined, and a phased implementation approach is anticipated. They also provided the password for the RTM matrix. The VHA Credentialing and Privileging Office will be the primary client, and the solution must automatically generate temporary privileging rules with user modification capability. The RFI excludes Integrated Veteran Care's Community Care providers.

The Department of Veterans Affairs' Business Requirements Package outlines the modernization of its Credentialing and Privileging (C&P) System. This initiative aims to streamline the credentialing and privileging process for practitioners, C&P Specialists, and other stakeholders. Key functionalities include electronic application generation, duplicate record checks, automated verification of credentials (e.g., licenses, DEA registration, national databank queries), and a robust workflow for application review and approval by Service Chiefs, CMOs, and ECMS Reviewers. The system will also manage practitioner credential information, including expiration tracking and notifications, and facilitate modifications of privileges. Shared access features enable non-primary facilities to view practitioner files, while temporary credentialing and privileging are supported with justification and verification. Exit reviews for departing practitioners and comprehensive professional practice evaluations (FPPE and OPPE) are also integrated. The modernization prioritizes data exchange with HR platforms, secure data storage, and configurable access permissions, ensuring an efficient, compliant, and user-friendly C&P solution.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to gather feedback on two potential strategies for healthcare provider credentialing: a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution for credentialing and privileging, and a Credentialing-as-a-Service (CaaS) model. Both parts seek to streamline workflows, reduce onboarding times, ensure continuous credential monitoring, and maintain compliance with VA, federal, and accreditation standards. The RFI details specific requirements for each strategy, including system capabilities, integration with existing VA systems, data migration, security, and compliance. Vendors are asked to describe their proposed solutions, provide past performance, outline technical capabilities, and offer Rough Order of Magnitude costs. Responses will inform the VA's acquisition strategy and potential set-aside determinations. The deadline for responses is April 3, 2026.
