R--Temporary Credentialing Support Staff - COS - Sole Source

The W.G. (Bill) Hefner VA Medical Center in Salisbury, NC plans to award a sole source contract for temporary credentialing support services specifically for the Chief of Staff at their facility. The contract will be negotiated directly with Ms. Brenda Wood and will cover the period from the date of award through September 30, 2009. This procurement is conducted under FAR 6.302, allowing the government to limit negotiations to a single source. Although this notice is not a solicitation for competitive quotes, other interested and capable parties may express their interest and capability by noon on January 26, 2009. The government will use the responses to determine whether to proceed with a competitive procurement or not, and this decision is entirely at their discretion. The notice provides contact details for inquiries, including an email address, fax number, and a direct phone line to the contracting officer. The contract aligns with NAICS code 518210 and falls under the jurisdiction of the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 6 located in Hampton, VA. It is important to note that this is a sources-sought notice aimed at gauging industry interest before finalizing the sole source award, and not a formal request for proposals or quotes.
