Solicitation: VA11817C1535
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Office of Procurement, Acquisition and Logistics (OPAL), Technology Acquisition Center (TAC), located at 23 Christopher Way, Eatontown, NJ 07724 intends to award a firm-fixed-price modification to Contract Number VA118-17-C-1535 to provide continued services issued on a sole source basis for the Fee Basis Claims System (FBCS) software, maintenance and technical support from Document Storage Systems, Inc. (DSS), 12575 US Highway 1, Suite 200, Juno Beach, Florida 33408-2478.
VA, Office of Information and Technology, Service Delivery and Engineering, in support of Veterans Health Administration (VHA) has a requirement for continued support of 142 FBCS licenses in use within the 142 fee offices across VA. FBCS is a foundational component that enables VHA to improve accuracy and timeliness of non-VA Medical Care claims processing.
FBCS allows non-VA Medical Care claims processing departments to manage and adjudicate healthcare claims in an electronic environment, which improves the ability to keep track of claims in-process and to identify duplicate and non-compliant claims.
The existing FBCS system processes approximately $5 billion per year in healthcare payments to non-VA providers that support Veterans seeking treatment for various health related issues. The required FBCS routine software maintenance and technical support includes periodic updates, upgrades, enhancements and corrections. It also includes software bug fixes, telephone and email support of the FBCS product, and technical support for non-Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VISTA) interfaces and other interfaces supported by VA Interface Control Registries. The period of performance shall be 9-months, followed by two 3-month option periods.
