Pre-Solicitation Notice for notice of intent to award a sole source contract. This is not a solicitation.

Any other company would need to design and develop a new system, and obtain FedRamp authorization. A new developed system is not guaranteed to produce all of the required VA functions. The Sophia software program works extremely well for the VA and the researchers across the country. The VA has already invested in this software. VA research facilities across the country have already had several months of training and years of experience working with this software in this particular context; other suppliers would require months of new training and substantial efforts to verify their understanding of the appropriate reports and protocols.
