Q525--UROLOGY PHYSICIAN SERVICES LEBANON VA MEDICAL CENTER

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is awarding an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract for urology physician services at the Lebanon VA Medical Center under solicitation number 36C24426R0047, with a total potential value between $1 million and $20 million. The contract is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 621111, requiring all offerors to self-certify as small businesses, with additional eligibility considerations for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses that must provide current SBA VetCert documentation. Performance is scheduled to commence upon issuance of task orders and extend through June 30, 2032, with services delivered primarily at the Lebanon VA Medical Center and potentially other VA facilities under the Pittsburgh, PA-based Network Contracting Office 4. The award will be trade-off based, prioritizing candidate qualifications and experience—including board certification, licensure, NPI verification, case logs, and patient outcomes—over price, followed by management plan quality, past performance, and socioeconomic status. Price is the least significant factor. Key deliverables include 100% compliance with clinical performance standards, 98% timely documentation completion, immediate reporting of patient safety incidents, and full adherence to VA, HIPAA, ACLS/BLS, and CMS requirements. Contractors must ensure all personnel are credentialed, trained in VA cybersecurity protocols, and subject to unannounced security assessments. The contract mandates rigorous personnel controls: no replacement of key staff without 30 days’ written notice and CO approval, with mandatory contingency staffing plans. Organizational conflicts of interest must be disclosed upfront, and third-party billing for VA services is strictly prohibited. Security requirements include full compliance with VA Directive 0710, use of FIPS 140-2 encryption, no foreign performance without explicit approval, and immediate reporting of personnel termination or reassignment. Invoicing must be submitted electronically via the VA’s EIPP system, with payments processed through EFT to the Austin, TX Financial Services Center. Contractors must maintain insurance coverage including $500,000 general liability and $100,000 workers’ compensation. Proposals must be submitted by email to the Contract Specialist with the subject line “RFP 36C24426R0047” and include resumes, past performance references, management plans, and signed SF 1449.
