# VA Seeks Health Systems Technology Integrator

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) seeking a health systems technology integrator to support the Veterans Health Administration's transition to a value-based, accountable care operating model. This integrator will be responsible for unifying and enabling interoperability across VA's clinical, administrative, financial, and Community Care Network (CCN) systems amid ongoing modernization efforts, including dual electronic health record systems and financial system upgrades. Responses to the RFI are due by October 2, 2026, marking a critical procurement opportunity for contractors with expertise in enterprise integration, health IT interoperability, and federal health systems.
