Q201--WAYNE COUNTY OUTPATIENT CLINIC

The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 4 awarded a one-year firm-fixed-price interim contract, number 36C24426P0430, to Wayne Memorial Community Health Centers for the provision of healthcare services at the Wayne County Outpatient Clinic in Honesdale, Pennsylvania. The contract, valued at $1,218,967.20, runs from August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2027. This award was executed as a sole-source acquisition under FAR 12.102 and 41 U.S.C. 1901, justified by the need for continuity of care and the contractor's unique qualifications as a Federally Qualified Health Center. The agency determined that transitioning to a different provider would cause an unacceptable disruption in primary care services for veterans. The scope of work includes delivering patient-centered primary care, including prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and referrals, in accordance with VHA Directive 2006-041 and Joint Commission standards. The contractor leverages existing infrastructure, including electronic health records and telemedicine capabilities, to ensure seamless service delivery. Performance is monitored and accepted on-site at the clinic, with oversight provided by the Wilkes Barre VA Medical Center. This interim arrangement allows the government to maintain essential health services while pursuing a long-term competitive procurement.
