Q402--CNH Services - Samuel Mahelona Memorial Hospital

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its Network Contracting Office 21, intends to sole source a Firm Fixed Price–Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract to Samuel Mahelona Memorial Hospital for the provision of community nursing home services in Kapaa, Hawaii. The contract, identified by solicitation number 36C26126Q0552 and NAICS code 623110, is planned to have a five-year performance period from September 28, 2026, through September 27, 2031. This action is justified under FAR 12.102(b), 41 U.S.C. 1901 and 1903, and FAR 6.104, with a Justification and Approval document to be prepared and published on SAM.gov to support the non-competitive award. The decision aligns with VA policy as outlined in VHA Notice 2020-32 and VHA Handbook 1143.2, which prioritize Veterans’ ability to choose a nursing home near their families and maintain localized oversight of care. A capability statement from any responsible source capable of delivering these services in Kapaa may be submitted by May 29, 2026, to inform the Government’s final determination on proceeding with the sole source award. The primary point of contact for this acquisition is Contract Specialist Lacy Morgan, and all services are expected to be performed at the hospital’s location in Kapaa, Hawaii. While no contract ceiling value or detailed pricing has been disclosed, the acquisition is structured as a firm fixed price mechanism, and compliance with VA clinical and operational standards for community nursing home care is a prerequisite. The Unique Entity Identifier for the contractor is T3H1GGYQGF35, and no socioeconomic set-asides or formal evaluation factors are specified, as the process is centered on sole-source justification and demonstrated capability rather than competitive scoring.
