Reading the functional spec, I'm having a really hard time figuring out how this could be built for $3mm, even with mostly offshore resources. Unpacking just a few of those line items is a huge amount of work, and there are >100 of these:
"1.4.5 The system shall have the capability to allow, in certain circumstances, Veterans to schedule appointments via remote access mechanisms such as phone, internet, email and other mobile devices."
"3.5.2 The system shall apply configurable business rules to the management of a long-term appointment request list."
"3.8.2 The system shall have the ability to merge, purge, or distribute scheduled appointments from one resource to another when emergency scheduling changes occur."
"4.1.6 The system shall have the capability to configure and enforce business rules at the clinical service level, clinic level, provider, and appointment type level (e.g., females in Obstetrics/Gynecology clinic)."
At least they've been kind enough to write a web services API for VistA for you to use...
