The Department of Veteran Affairs is in the process of migrating from our existing Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS) to a new Electronic Health Records Modernization (EHRM) platform.  The new EHRM will help VA to provide safe care for our veterans, while also helping find and respond to information more quickly and accurately, freeing up time and energy to do things such as talk with patients more, think about medical decisions, and double-check work before administering or performing a treatment or procedure.  This project will include the construction of a new fiber backbone, a new server room that will be utilized for both existing and new servers, as well as the renovation of O&IT closets as indicated to include room modifications; HVAC cooling and controls; patch panel upgrades; provide cabling upgrades to CAT 6A; provide additional power and data drops for end user deployment equipment; provide power upgrades to OI&T closets and Telephone Room located on the John J. Pershing VA Medical Center campus.  The period of performance is estimated to be approximately 365 calendar days after Notice to Proceed (NTP).  The principal NAICS code for this acquisition is 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, and the FSC is Y1DZ, Construction of Other Hospital buildings, Business size of 39.5 Million.
