Original Description

Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition Unusual and Compelling Urgency (FAR 6.302-2) The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to award a sole source contract to HEALTHCARE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION (HFMA) for specialized certifications in revenue cycle, accounting and finance, business intelligence, managed care, and physician practice management, which follows all federal accounting Rules and Regulations under FAR 6.302-2, Unusual and Compelling Urgency. Due to unforeseen circumstances affecting patient care, immediate procurement is required to avoid unacceptable delay and risk to patient care/facility operations. The full justification will be below in accordance with FAR 6.305. Background/Description: The Department of Veterans Affairs - KANSAS CITY VA MEDICAL CENTER located at 4801 Linwood Blvd., Kansas City, MO, 64128-2226 requires specialized certifications in revenue cycle, accounting and finance, business intelligence, managed care, and physician practice management, which follows all federal accounting Rules and Regulations to ensure that the HIMS service line does not get impacted and patient care can continue without stoppage.
