1.0 SCOPE OF WORK
For the Expendable Data Cleansing effort, the Contractor shall provide a proof-of-concept consumable medical supply catalog test in simulated and non-production environments that is organized into four phases. In Phase 1, the Contractor shall receive or integrate publicly available, VA consumable medical/surgical supply item master file data schemas from a VA-server into a data enhancement Software as a Service (SaaS) solution; then take this data and integrate the cleansed data schema outputs into a non-production VA Common Operating Platform (COP). Phase 1 success is defined by automatic daily updates, in a non-production environment, from the VA server to the SaaS solution to the VA COP. In Phase 2, the Contractor shall support a proof-of-concept test in the VA SimLearn Center in Orlando, Florida, which is a non-production environment. This test shall take the resulting Phase 1 master catalog data and then simulate a VA purchase order facility (non-production) using VistA systems. Phase 2 success is defined by VistA orders, receipts and payments through the simulated Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). Optional task for Phase 3, is the continuation of successful phase 1 & phase 2 processes, but in a VA warehouse or medical center (non-production environment). In this phase, the Contractor shall assist the Government with the simulation process at the VA warehouse or medical center (non-production environment). Phase 3 success is defined by a limited series of nonproduction purchase orders being received, paid for, and physically held in non-production for disposition instructions. In an optional task for Phase 4, the Contractor shall provide VA with a plan for the phased implementation of all proven concepts in phases 1, 2 and 3 throughout the enterprise. Phase 4 success is defined by the delivery of the plan in the form of a white paper to inform VA leadership. The Contractor shall provide integration and integration support to Phases 1 through 3 for the test events.
