February 13, 2006— VFA, a major provider of software and services for facilities management and capital planning, has been awarded a $2.8 million contract to provide comprehensive condition assessments of health facilities managed by the US army Medical Command (MEDCOM) worldwide, says VFA.
VFA will complete detailed assessments of approximately 27 million square feet of health facilities managed by MEDOM, including medical treatment facilities providing preventive care, medical research, development and training. The assessments will be conducted over a seven-month period.
This engagement represents the second comprehensive assessment of health facilities that VFA has conducted for US Army Medical Command. MEDCOM previously implemented VFA’s capital asset planning and management software, VFA.facility, which is currently used by more than 75 personnel of the MEDCOM to support multi-year capital budgeting and capital project planning across its facilities.
“MEDCOM’s continued investment in its infrastructure and facilities is essential to sustain and enhance its capital assets and support the Army’s medical and research missions,” says Michael Sartori, Chief, Facilities Sustainment, for MEDCOM. “Planning for capital investment is an ongoing process because investment priorities change with the aging of the infrastructure, technological advances, and in methods of healthcare delivery. VFA solutions have helped us to ensure that we are making optimal investment decisions for the renewal, sustainment, restoration and modernization of our health facilities to support the Army’s mission.”
