Market Research for VA Supply Chain Modernization – Part 4 Description The VA Market Research is designed to provide an overview of key areas that were assessed during the VA Supply Chain Management Assessment (SCMA). The objective of SCMA Phase I was to assess and document the current state of VA SC (this does not mean SC has been properly defined just notionally what VA has been referring to as the VA SC) – outcomes for SCMA Phase I, identify and document the as-is state, summarize observations for improvements, and reviewing various documents included in the VA SCMA repository. A high level overview of SCMA Phase I will be provided by key VA staff (Administrations and VA Central Offices). The information in the VA SCMA repository can be shared as part of the VA Market Research, Phase II (some exceptions may apply). Industry support is required to assure VA is conducting quality market research to collect information from the industry partners with expertise in SC Management and to collect proven best practices, lessons learned, and various programmatic methodologies that can be applied to inform the VA Comprehensive SCM Strategy (quality data based business practices and targeted recommendations based on VA mission areas) along with path forward to assess the information received from industry. Discussion Topics The goals of this discussion will be to allow leadership from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to share their strategy and vision for Supply Chain Modernization. Industry will have a chance to listen and pose recorded questions to Acquisition, Supply Chain and Program Offices. • The landscape of “Supply Chain Modernization” and the potential planned scope of the initiative; the problem to be solved and the complex opportunity that the VA is asking industry to address. This includes a review of all options in support of the VA mission and requirements. • The VA leadership will discuss their acquisition approach and invite industry input and questions. The VA is considering a Statement of Objectives (SOO) vs. a Statement of Work (SOW). • The VA desires to work with industry to provide for the best solutions and approaches to modernization. What does industry need to be able to offer their services? • Topics for this Part 4 session will cover the Supply Chain foundation of the Office of Information and Technology (OI&T) Speakers Include: Michael D. Parrish, Dr. Angela Billups, Phil Christy, Greg McLean, Paul Brubaker, Luwanda Jones, Tina Burnette, Dr. Paul Tibbits, and other leaders from the Office of Information and Technology (OI&T) Time When Mar 25, 2022 01:00 PM Eastern Time Registration Link (Please register before the event) Webinar Registration - Zoom
