(DSS) Above Participating Provider (APAR)/Advanced Prosthetics Acquisition Tool (APAT) Supply Chain Graphical User Interface (SCGUI) Overlay applications. These Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) applications are utilized for Veterans Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA) users at 141 VA Medical Centers (VAMCs), the Employee Education Services (EES), Consolidated Mail Order Pharmacy (CMOP), as well as a training instance for the Veterans Affairs Acquisition Academy (VAAA). There are currently 84 Large, 26 Medium, and 33 Small facility sizes and 1 VAAA (a total of 144) sites utilizing the SCGUI products which depends on Information Management/Information Technology (IM/IT) Systems to meet mission goals. Additional site(s)/group(s) can be added via an optional task. The operations and maintenance support shall cover all the sites nationally and be based upon the VA facility size. The SCGUI software package provides a tiered control and implementation of standardized national, Veteran Integrated Service Network (VISN), and VAMC business rules, controls, data management and standardization required to perform the functions relating to VistA s Integrated Funds Distribution, Control Point Activity, Accounting and Procurement (IFCAP); General Inventory Package (GIP); Automated Engineering Management System/Medical Equipment Reporting System (AEMS/MERS); Prosthetics Inventory Package (PIP); Prosthetics and Sensory Aids Services (PSAS); Financial Management Business Transformation (FMBT); and Electronic Healthcare Record Modernization (EHRM). It also provides enterprise reporting and data integration services.
