EAP Services

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through the 247-NETWORK Contract Office 7 in Augusta, Georgia, has awarded a sole-source Firm Fixed Price contract to J.E. Federal Enterprises, LLC, a certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, for Employee Assistance Program (EAP) services at the WJB Dorn VA Medical Center in Columbia, South Carolina. The contract, identified by solicitation number 36C24726P0595 and issued on May 20, 2026, is authorized under 38 U.S.C. § 8127(c) and implemented through VAAR 819.7008, which permits non-competitive awards to qualified SDVOSBs. Performance is scheduled for one year, from June 1, 2026, to May 31, 2027, with no options for extension. The scope requires licensed clinical professionals to deliver comprehensive EAP services—including counseling, crisis intervention, and referrals—without conflict of interest, ensuring confidentiality and professional standards. The contract value is not explicitly stated but falls within the statutory ceiling of $5 million permitted for SDVOSB sole-source awards under federal law. No line items, pricing details, or cost breakdowns are provided, and invoicing methods, payment offices, or accounting codes are referenced only generally. The award is based solely on the vendor’s verified SDVOSB certification and demonstrated cost reasonableness, with no competitive evaluation factors applied. The contractor is expected to comply with all VA regulations, and while personnel must be licensed clinical staff, no specific individuals or substitution protocols are named. There are no requirements for security clearances, packaging, marking, or federal inspection standards documented, and no option years or incentive structures are included. The sole source justification and market research documentation, submitted as Attachment 1, support the award under the applicable VA regulatory framework, and the Contracting Officer, Jacob A. Tackett, serves as the primary point of contact.
