Accordingly, this RFI constitutes neither a Request for Proposal (RFP) nor a guarantee that one will be issued by the Government in the future; furthermore, it does not commit the Government to contract for any services described herein. Do not submit a Proposal. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is not, at this time, seeking proposals or quotes, and therefore, will not accept, review, or evaluate unsolicited proposals or quotes received in response hereto. This notice is not to be construed as a commitment on the part of the Government to award a contract, nor does the Government intend to pay for any information submitted as a result of this request. The Government does not reimburse respondents for any costs associated with submission of the information being requested or, reimburse expenses incurred for responses to this RFI. The information provided may be used by VA in developing its acquisition strategy and Performance Work Statement (PWS).

This is a request for information and does not obligate the Government in any way, nor does it commit the Government to any specific course of action. The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) National Radiation Oncology Program (NROP) has developed a software platform and database, Health Information and Gateway Exchange (HINGE), designed to support high-quality, disease site specific data collection in radiation oncology. In collaboration with the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO), VHA established Clinical Quality Measures (CQMs) for care gap identification and quality surveillance. HINGE addresses long-standing challenges associated with manual data abstraction by enabling automated, template-driven collection of clinical, dosimetry, and treatment data. As VA transitions to the Cerner Millennium Electronic Health Record (EHR), a need has emerged to develop a FHIR-based integration between Cerner and HINGE to ensure seamless, automated data flow. The NROP medical physics team developed and maintains the HINGE software but lacks the technical resources and cloud-specific expertise required to fully implement and operate the system on the VA GovCloud platform. This contract supports the development, testing, deployment, and operational integration of the HINGE-Cerner FHIR R4 interface, as well as supporting the Authority to Operate (ATO) and Authority to Connect (ATC) processes. Please see below DRAFT Performance Work Statement.
