Outside healthcare delivery, VA IT modernization (Oracle Health EHR implementation and downstream integrations) represents a multi-billion dollar capture target for IT and change management firms.
VA is a highly accessible agency for small businesses — T4NG2 and SEWP VI provide dedicated small business pools with significant task order flow.
