Iron Bow Technologies, a technology solutions provider to government, healthcare, education and commercial markets, announced it has secured a $2 billion, single award, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

In a news release, Iron Bow said the Connected Care Integrated Network (CCIN) contract has a base period of five years and two one-year performance-based option periods for a total of seven years.

Under the contract, Iron Bow said the company will continue supporting the VA Office of Connected Care (VA OCC) with services across four functional areas: connected care technology software and mobile medical application design, development, enhancement and remediation; infrastructure and architecture support; help desk support as well as product ordering and inventory and asset management.

In collaboration with the Office of Connected Care since 2010, Iron Bow noted that it has been instrumental in advancing telehealth and connected care solutions. These initiatives have enabled over 4.3 million unique Veterans to access healthcare remotely in over 40 million encounters, saving 4.2 billion miles of travel.

According to the company, these achievements are in lockstep with the VA’s Priority to Action (P2A) initiative, dramatically improving the delivery of timely, high-quality healthcare to Veterans, and ensuring their needs are efficiently and effectively met.

“It has been a profound privilege for Iron Bow to support the VA and our Veterans for the past 14 years,” said Rene LaVigne, CEO of Iron Bow. “Our mutual objective is to make healthcare more accessible and efficient for those who served our nation. We’ve dedicated ourselves to advancing telehealth and connected care, bringing quality healthcare within reach of every Veteran, regardless of their location. As we continue our partnership with the VA, we are driven by a shared mission: to continuously elevate the standard of care for our Veterans, honoring their service with the excellence they deserve in healthcare.”
