COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY The Network Contracting Office (NCO) 19, Rocky Mountain Acquisition Center (RMAC) is seeking information and sources that are willing to conduct a product demonstration of its' Data Collection Software Database, at the Eastern Colorado Healthcare System (ECHCS), 1055 Clermont Street, Denver, CO 80220. The software database must have the capability to monitor, audit, provide surveillance, provide quality/management controls and other functions for a wide range of healthcare/administration activities. The technology must have the ability to assist in the design and creation of forms for ease of data collection.

Database must have the capability to be merged for further analysis. System must contain active privacy/security feature in the technology. Company's product must have the ability to import from another VA facilities shell database, templates, forms, reports, etc., and the ability to then easily customize and adapt them to ECHCS use, if that VA utilizes the company's product. While ECHCS does not expect this technology to interact with VISTA/CPRS, they may dump data onto excel format document, which could be uploaded into this technology. For purposes of conducting the demonstrations the vendor shall sign-in as per VHA/ECHCS regulations. Demonstrations shall be no longer than 1.5 hours, including question and answer period.
