Q522--Onsite Interventional Radiology Physician Services JJP

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through Network Contracting Office 2, is soliciting quotes for on-site and on-call Interventional Radiology (IR) physician services at the James J. Peters VA Medical Center in the Bronx, New York. The requirement is for one full-time equivalent (1.0 FTE) physician to provide nonpersonal healthcare services to eligible beneficiaries. To ensure continuity of care, the contractor must propose a minimum of four board-certified or board-eligible IR physicians as key personnel. Services must adhere to American College of Radiology (ACR) guidelines and cover various specialties, including abdominal/GU, breast imaging, cardiovascular, general, interventional, musculoskeletal, and neuroradiology. The period of performance consists of one base year with four optional extension years. The contract is a total small business set-aside, with a specific evaluation focus on Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) status. Award will be based on a comparative evaluation of price and other factors, with non-price factors—specifically technical capability, past performance, and socioeconomic status—carrying more weight than price. Technical evaluation focuses on the contractor's staffing and contingency plans to ensure uninterrupted coverage, including a requirement for on-call providers to be available by phone within 15 minutes and on-site within 45 minutes. Performance will be monitored via a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) focusing on clinical standards, credentialing, and patient safety reporting. All invoices must be submitted electronically through the Tungsten Network.
