Award Notice: Sole Source SDVOSB / Urgent Black Hills Short Term Teleradiology Contract

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through Network Contract Office 23, has issued a sole source contract for urgent, short-term teleradiology physician services to support the VA Black Hills Health Care System in Fort Meade, South Dakota. This procurement, identified by solicitation number 36C26326P0199, is designated as a set-aside for a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB). The contract is a follow-on award to an incumbent SDVOSB contractor, justified under authorities VAAR 819.7008 and RFO 6.103-2 due to unusual and compelling urgency and limited services available from the National Teleradiology Program. The estimated value of the contract is $317,332.88 for a period of performance running from February 1, 2026, through July 31, 2026. The primary objective is to ensure the continuity of radiological interpretation by board-certified radiologists to support critical clinical decision-making during service disruptions. Because this is a non-competitive, urgent sole source acquisition, traditional evaluation factors and competitive proposal processes were not utilized. Administrative oversight is managed by the contracting office in Saint Paul, Minnesota, with Matthew Rose serving as the primary point of contact.
