AI Contract Overview
The Department of Veterans Affairs, through Network Contract Office 22, awarded contract 36C26227P0044 to Cooper Thomas LLC for medical coding and auditing services at the VA Greater Los Angeles Health Care System. This small business set-aside contract, valued at 127,462.75 dollars and awarded on October 1, 2026, addresses an urgent need for the assignment of ICD, CPT, and HCPCS codes for outpatient, surgical, and inpatient care. The scope of work includes conducting coding audits of encounters to ensure the timely and accurate processing of healthcare documentation and billing, thereby preventing disruptions to veteran care. This is a short-term, three-month engagement designed to maintain mission continuity while the agency pursues a competitive long-term procurement. Cooper Thomas LLC was selected as the sole provider capable of meeting the immediate timeframe because they were the incumbent contractor with an existing FITARA approval. Utilizing a different vendor would have required a new FITARA approval and onboarding process, creating unacceptable delays in service delivery. The work is performed in Los Angeles, California, under NAICS code 541219.

Full Description
The VA Greater Los Angeles Health Care System had an urgent requirement for medical coding and auditing services. The Contractor must assign current, appropriate International Classification of Diseases (ICD), Common Procedural Terminology (CPT), and Healthcare Common Procedural Coding System (HCPCS) codes based on health record documentation for outpatient, surgical, and inpatient care and services provided at all Veterans Affairs Los Angeles Healthcare System locations. Additionally, the Contractor must conduct coding audits of inpatient and outpatient encounters as requested by the medical facility. This was an urgent requirement to ensure the timely and accurate processing of healthcare documentation and billing to prevent disruptions to veteran care.
A three-month contract was urgently required to ensure uninterrupted service delivery while allowing sufficient time for the proper procurement and competition of a new long-term contract. Cooper Thomas was the only vendor able to meet this requirement because they are the incumbent contractor with an already-approved FITARA. Engaging a new vendor would necessitate a separate FITARA approval and a full onboarding process, both of which would introduce significant delays and risk to mission continuity. Therefore, to maintain continuity and meet urgent operational needs, only Cooper Thomas can fulfill the requirement within the necessary timeframe.
