Q201--CCN R1 Contract Extension

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through the Strategic Acquisition Center Fredericksburg, has issued contract modification P00158 to Optum Public Sector Solutions, Inc. for the Community Care Network (CCN) Region 1 IDIQ contract. This action serves as a sole-source extension of the existing agreement under the statutory authority of FAR 6.302-2, citing unusual and compelling urgency. The extension is designed to maintain the continuity of critical healthcare services for Veterans and prevent any lapse in care while the Department finalizes the CCN-Next Generation Medical and Dental procurements. The extension period runs from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027, with the modification officially awarded on September 30, 2026. This procurement falls under NAICS code 524114 and is managed by Contracting Officer Joy Garrett-Bey. The primary objective of this administrative action is to ensure an uninterrupted transition to the next generation of the Community Care Network without compromising the delivery of medical and dental services to the Veteran population in Region 1.
