    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is pursuing a sole-source contract for the renewal of ClearTriage Decision Support Tool licenses and support, specifically for Veterans Integrated Services Networks (VISN) 4 and 12. The proposed contractor is Minburn Technology Group, Inc., the only authorized reseller of ClearTriage licenses, which is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB). This decision is grounded in the unique role of ClearTriage in providing telecare services; its integration with existing VA systems is critical for effective patient triage. The contract period includes a three-month base and a one-month option, with the acquisition estimated to be below the $5,000,000 threshold. The rationale for bypassing competitive bids stems from market research indicating that no other product meets the VA's needs for triage functionality. Additionally, changing systems would incur substantial retraining costs and risk compromising patient safety by disrupting established processes. The acquisition aligns with the Veterans First Contracting Program's provisions, emphasizing continued market research to explore alternative tools in the future while ensuring the immediate needs of Veterans are met effectively.
