The document enforces anti-terrorism and operations security protocols, requiring contractor employees to undergo background checks and comply with identity verification measures. Regular updates (anticipating 1-2 per year) will be deployed under the maintenance agreement, ensuring continuous support. A Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) mandates 100% compliance for all contractor requirements, closely monitored by a Contracting Officer's Representative (COR). Should any compliance issues arise, the contractor must address them promptly. This initiative aims to maintain high operational standards while prioritizing security and access control within Army facilities.
    The document outlines a justification for a sole-source procurement by Womack Army Medical Center (WAMC) for the continuation and maintenance of Viewpoint software provided by GE Precision Healthcare LLC. This decision is based on several factors, including the urgent need for uninterrupted access to information regarding high-risk pregnancies, as switching software would cause unacceptable delays.
