It does not constitute a solicitation (Request for Proposal or Request for Quotation) nor a promise to issue a solicitation in the future. The information provided in response to this PSS is for discussion purposes only and any potential strategy that may be developed from these discussions would be subject of a separate, future announcement. The information received in response to this PSS may be utilized by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) in developing an acquisition strategy, and requirements documents (i.e. Statement of Objectives, Performance Work Statement, or Purchase Description). DLA requires that only non-proprietary information be submitted in response to this PSS. DLA shall not be liable for or suffer any consequential damages for the use of any proprietary information submitted. DESCRIPTION: DLA Troop Support - Medical in Philadelphia anticipates possible award(s) to upgrade software and hardware for the Air Force's current Radiology Voice Dictation System for 23 sites consisting of Continental United States (CONUS) locations and Outside Continental United States (OCONUS) locations. The award(s) will procure software and hardware to integrate with radiation dose monitoring software. In addition to software and hardware upgrades, the award(s) will procure training for end user radiologists. With this upgrade, the Air Force is also seeking to purchase associated hardware to include microphones that will maximize the use of the software upgrade. The Government plans to procure these items as commercial items through fixed priced award(s). There is currently one known source (brand): Two companies can provide PowerScribe 360. Nuance Communications, Inc., Burlington, MA 01803 - the manufacturer; and, Carahsoft Technology Corporation, Reston, VA 20190 - an authorized distributor of PowerScribe 360. Essential Characteristics: -The vendor is approved to access CHCS' bi-directional HL7 feed and establish connections to its servers. -Application utilizes an industry standard HL7 feed; vendor has bi-directional HL7 feed that will improve the communications between Composite Health Care System (CHCS) and its servers. -The integration needs to support push web services for plain text in Radimetrics. Push web services allows for radiation dosage information to be pushed from PowerScribe 360 directly into Radimetrics, which is what the Air Force needs to support Radimetrics workflow across Air Force Medicine. -Vendor provided volume based licensing structure that can accommodate changes in provider numbers without having to purchase additional licenses -Vendor provided hardware configurations that function on approved operating systems (Windows Server 2008 R2, or 2012) -Software application is installed through web based client and does not use a specific version of Java Script -Software functions on diagnostic radiology workstations without any substantial system modification or configuration changes (can be easily installed by radiology personnel) -Voice dictation speech engine can handle medical terminology -Software platform can be integrated into multiple Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) platforms (i.e. Agfa, Fuji, Carestream, McKesson) -Software can ingest data from radiation dose monitoring applications and transmit information into a standard report -System must make use of speech engine with similar functional characteristics as Dragon Medical Speech engine v. 12.0 or higher -Hardware configurations can be performed by the vendor prior to shipment/installation -Software application features an integrated assisted diagnostic function that enables providers to search for specific medical information from within the application to improve disease diagnostics -Software integrates critical test results management directly into the reporting process to ensure MTFs meet mandatory regulatory notification guidelines -The vendor must be willing to work at gaining an approved connection to MHS Genesis Note: Future procurements may be reliant on a connection with MHS Genesis in which the vendor's solution is certified to have a bi-directional API interface with Cerner RadNet. This is not true for this procurement but will be a requirement when the services switch over from using CHCS to MHS Genesis. Potential sources in the future should work toward to gaining the certification to support the bi-directional API interface with Cerner RadNet. This process involves the vendor having its software installed in the Government Approved Lab (GAL) being tested with MHS Genesis (Cerner). Based on responses to this PSS, it is anticipated that, at some future date, solicitation(s) may be issued to pursue opportunities for award(s). A pre-solicitation notice may be published in FedBizOpps prior to the release of any solicitation generated from the information gathered in response to this PSS. Not responding to this PSS will not preclude participation in any future solicitation.
