- Description
- The Consolidated Acquisition Service, VISN 6, Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking sources for dietetic management software that can manage the diet office and administrative nutrition functions for a fully integrated healthcare system of eight medical centers. The system will be a Windows based environment and have a relational database. A Windows face on a text-based system is not acceptable. Software must integrate with US Department of Veterans Affairs VistA system through HL7 interface to obtain patient information. One database server will accommodate multiple sites with full autonomy or standardized data among several sites. The product should have a full drag and drop/point and click functionality and the ability to open multiple screens simultaneously. The administrative software component must be able to produce recipes for the Central Production Unit at each site. It must have the ability to calculate quantities for food orders from the Subsistence Prime Vendor and link them to Prime Vendor stock number. Nutritional and cost information must integrate automatically into the recipes and menus. Hazard Analysis of Critical Points (HACCP) guidelines must be integrated into the recipes. The diet office software should include up to 12 diet restrictions. Software must enable admission, discharge, transfer and diet order interface transmissions that can be monitored in "real time." The system should have standardized patterns but allow each facility the ability to enter customized meal patterns. Menu conflicts for diet restrictions, food preferences and allergies should be flagged on screen with automatic corrections. Tray tickets can be printed for each patient, by the ward or for the entire delivery point. System must be compatible with hand-held devices for remote menu selections. Federal Supply Schedule vendors offering this software under their GSA contract should include their contract number and line items numbers for the items they are quoting. Interested parties must submit product data in writing to Jeff Benton, Contracting Officer, VA Medical Center, 2300 Ramsey Street, Fayetteville, NC 28301 not later than 4:30pm local time September 8, 2004. Responses received will be evaluated, however, a determination by the Government to compete the proposed procurement based on the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. This requirement is for the purchase, installation, training and maintenance support of dietetic management software. If no responses are received, the Government will proceed with a sole source negotiation with Computrition, Inc., the only known source for this software.
