The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) for the procurement of TheraDoc software to support the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center. The RFI serves to identify potential vendors and inform the VA's procurement strategy. The software package includes a range of modules for pharmacy and infection control assistance, with a requirement for ongoing support and maintenance.
Responses are requested from vendors regarding the manufacturing origin, business size classification (small or large), compliance with the Non-Manufacturer Rule, and ability to supply original equipment manufacturer parts. Interested parties must submit their responses detailing their capabilities, contact information, and any relevant contract numbers by March 17, 2025.
The VA encourages small businesses to participate in this process to guide the anticipated solicitation. Proposed market pricing is also requested to help define the competitive landscape. This RFI is purely a market research tool, not a solicitation for bids or proposals, and all submitted information will remain confidential within the VA's purchasing team. The central goal is to assess the market and prepare for future contracting opportunities related to this software.
