The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) oversees health care, pensions, and benefits for veterans and their families. It runs a nationwide network of VA hospitals and clinics — by patient volume, one of the largest health systems in the U.S.
Delivering that care drives large procurement of IT, facilities, and pharmaceuticals, making it one of the top awarding agencies in this site's federal contracts. Improving benefits administration and care quality are ongoing reform challenges.
