Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and Program Contracting Activity Central (PCAC), is conducting market research through a Sources Sought/Request for Information (SS/RFI) to identify qualified sources for an enterprise-wide digital subscription to the Journal of Medical Insight (JOMI). This surgical video journal will provide clinical staff with access to surgical procedural video content. Responses are due by April 15, 2026, at 10:00 AM Eastern Time.
Scope of Work
The VA requires a system that integrates access to a peer-reviewed surgical video journal featuring high-quality recordings of real operations and didactic content. The streaming library must include hundreds of full-length surgical videos across multiple specialties, such as general surgery, orthopedics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and otolaryngology. Each video should offer an unobstructed operative view with surgeon narration, accompanied by a written article, procedural outline, animations/visual aids, and a full transcript.
The system must support Single Sign-On (SSO) for secure VA staff access (on-and-off-site), allow individual user management, and utilize a link resolver resource (e.g., Serials Solutions, Liblynx IPs). It must provide expansive usage statistics upon request and ensure enterprise-wide access for approximately 152 VAMCs and CBOCs. The system must be independent of the VA computer network, requiring no software installation, be 508 compliant, and accessible via various personal mobile devices (Apple and Android).
