Department of Veterans Affairs
Network Contracting Office 1 (NCO 1)
Notice ID: 36C24126Q0682
Proposed Awardee: Modus Health LLC
The Department of Veterans Affairs, NCO 1, on behalf of Jamaica VA Medical Center, intends to award a sole source contract to Modus Health LLC, 6100 219th St SW Suite 480 Mountlake Terrace, WA 98043 for continuation of StepWatch Activity Monitor data processing, cloud analytics, MDM services, remote training, and validated algorithmic data cleaning required for the CSP2017 Pivotal Percutaneous Osseointegrated Prosthesis (POP) Study conducted through Jamaica Plain VAMC.

Interested parties who believe they can provide StepWatch compatible services must submit a capability statement detailing:
Demonstrated ownership/licensing of StepWatch compatible hardware, software, and validated analytics
Ability to provide CSP-specific datasets without protocol changes or re validatio...
