This is a Sources Sought notice for Enterprise Run Time Licenses for developing VistA Imaging applications for use within the VA. The VA utilizes the Laurel Bridge DICOM Connectivity Framework (DCF) to develop VistA Imaging applications for Veterans Health Administration (VHA) facilities. Currently, the licensing scheme for a Laurel Bridge Run Time Licenses is for a single-user. These are permanent licenses tied to a single user by means of linking a license key to each affected VistA Imaging machine's Machine Address Control (MAC) address on the Network Interface Card (NIC). Given medical device reliability requirements, each VistA Imaging machine is procured with redundant NICs.
