G--Adult Day Healthcare Services

The Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 11, intends to award a sole source contract to the University of Michigan’s Division of Research Development and Administration for Adult Day Health Care Services. This decision is made under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, indicating that only one responsible source is available and no alternative supplies or services will satisfy the agency’s needs. The contract falls under NAICS code 623111, which relates to nursing and residential care facilities. The notice explicitly states that it is not a solicitation, does not request competitive proposals, and no solicitation package will be provided. Interested parties wishing to demonstrate that competition would be beneficial to the government were invited to respond by June 19, 2015, with responses to be submitted by mail only to the designated contracting office contacts at the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System. Telephone or email inquiries were not permitted. The contract is administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs’ Network Contract Office 10, based in Dayton, Ohio. The sole source approach underscores the unique qualifications of the University of Michigan in meeting the specific service requirements for adult day healthcare for veterans in this region.
