Description
The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to award a sole‑source contract to the American Nurses Credentials Center (ANCC) for delivering the FY27 Pathway to Excellence Designation Program to the Orlando VA Healthcare System. The solicitation invites any vendor that can demonstrate comparable technical capability to submit a technical package for validation, but the award will ultimately go to ANCC unless a qualified alternative is proven. This is a professional accreditation service targeting nursing excellence, with a small‑business size standard of $23.5 M.
