PSI lands $156M contract to support VA’s electronic health records push

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has awarded Planned Systems International, which has its principal office in Arlington County, a $156 million contract to provide test and evaluation support for the VA Electronic Health Record Modernization Integration Office (EHRM-IO) program.

The VA announced the award of the Independent Enterprise Testing and Support Services contract Monday on the System for Award Management (SAM) website.  The EHRM-IO is the VA office charged with preparing, deploying and transitioning to a new electronic health record system.

According to a Request For Proposal issued in November, PSI will provide testing and evaluation support for the software, infrastructure, environments and operations of the Independent Verification and Validation test center.

In April 2020, PSI announced it had received a five-year contract, with a value of $149 million, to provide services to the Enterprise Testing Service branch of the Veterans Affairs Office of Information and Technology  and the Office of Electronic Health Record Modernization.

Planned Systems International did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The company was founded in 1988 and provides IT and management consulting services to government clients.
