Introduction: Study Approach

• Established baseline at VISN level

• Hired Robert Thomale, former Chief of Acquisition and Material Management for the North Texas VA Health Care Center

– Relied on his knowledge and contacts

• Filled in information gaps by• Working the phones

• Making Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to reticent VISN officials

• Data accuracy

Summary: Observations

• A-76 studies are not being funded

– Impacts commercial activities inventory data provided to NISH

• VISNs basically share the same mission and vision

– Honor America’s veterans by providing exceptional health care that improves their health and well-being.

– Be the health care provider of choice, achieving the highest quality in health care delivery, education and research.

• Five-year projections for operations and maintenance budget are unavailable

– FY 2004 data are last reported

Page 244: Acquisition and Acquisition Strategies of the Department of Veteran Affairs John Jennings Robert W. Thomale Amy Pitts Joyce M. Ward January 2006

P A G E 244

Summary: Common Interview Responses (Themes)

• Three important themes emerged from interviews

– JWOD Program awareness is high among VISN managers, but marketing to VISN staffers needs improvement

– SDVOSBs have procurement preference

– Residual resistance to NISH is based on perception that it is a high-cost provider

Potential Marketing Strategy

• Develop partnership with VA’s Homeless Veterans Program

– Make pitch to senior VA leadership first

– Explore the possibility of employing homeless veterans in exchange for an increased share of VA procurements

• Strategy separates NISH from the “pack” by making NISH an employer of veterans as opposed to just another contractor

Page 248: Acquisition and Acquisition Strategies of the Department of Veteran Affairs John Jennings Robert W. Thomale Amy Pitts Joyce M. Ward January 2006

P A G E 248

Potential Marketing Strategy (Continued)

• At the VISN level– Meet with director or surrogate before contacting facility

directors

• At the facility level– Meet with Homeless Veterans Program Coordinator

• Explain how NISH can employ homeless veterans

• Enlist support in making pitch to facility director and subordinates

– Meet with Director• Ensure facility staff are aware of NISH and its support of the

Homeless Veterans Program

• Request opportunity to present proposals in anticipation of unadvertised requirements
