G--Inpatient detox services

The VA Connecticut Healthcare System is planning to negotiate a sole source contract with Hill Health Corp to provide residential medically monitored detoxification services specifically for substance-dependent veterans. The services must be delivered at a facility that holds JCAHO accreditation and is located within five miles of the VA Connecticut's West Haven campus. This procurement will be conducted under the authority of FAR 6.302. Although the primary intention is sole source negotiation, other businesses capable of providing these services are invited to submit relevant information by May 19, 2008. The responses will be reviewed solely to determine whether to pursue a competitive procurement, with the final decision resting entirely with the VA. The contract is identified under solicitation number VA-241-08-RI-0274, posted on May 14, 2008, and categorized under NAICS code 624190, indicating service-related to individual and family services. This sources-sought notice seeks to identify potential providers before confirming the sole source award, ensuring that the VA can confirm Hill Health Corp’s capability to meet its requirements or decide to open the process for competition.
