R499--MSPO MSPV Support Services - Increase Option 1 Support

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its Office of Procurement, Acquisition and Logistics, intends to modify contract 36C10X26F0006 with incumbent contractor Deloitte Consulting, LLP, to significantly increase the level of effort during Option Period 1, extending from June 26, 2026, to December 26, 2026, to match the scope and intensity of the base period. Originally awarded on December 25, 2025, under GSA Federal Supply Schedule 47QRAA18D001P, the contract supports the Medical/Surgical Prime Vendor program, which manages approximately $2.5 billion in annual medical and surgical supply spending across more than 1,300 VA facilities nationwide. The modification is necessary due to unforeseen operational emergencies, global supply chain disruptions tied to geopolitical conflict, and heightened compliance requirements under the Make PPE in America Act, all of which have dramatically increased workload in program management, clinical integration, enterprise modernization, and strategic sourcing—areas explicitly within the original Performance Work Statement. Without sustaining base-period-level support, the VA risks operational failure in maintaining supply chain resilience, jeopardizing Veteran care and the program’s projected $100 million in annual savings. The proposed modification would increase the estimated contract value by approximately $6.2 million for Option Period 1, bringing the total estimated value of the contract, including base and modified option, to nearly $19.9 million, using existing base-period labor rates as established in prior modification P00001. The government acknowledges this modification may exceed the original scope but justifies proceeding without full competition based on the contractor’s irreplaceable institutional knowledge of the Clinical Product Tool, MSPV operations, and VA supply chain infrastructure, coupled with the narrow six-month remaining performance window, which makes a competitive procurement impractical. This notice serves to inform potential FSS contractors of the intent and solicits capability statements from qualified firms to assess whether full and open competition could be conducted without undue risk to mission continuity. Responses must demonstrate relevant experience supporting federal medical supply chain programs, the ability to transition complex IT systems like CPT within 30 days, valid GSA FSS contract details, and a clear plan to mitigate transition risk. All submissions are due within five business days and must be submitted electronically to the Contracting Officer, who retains sole discretion on whether to proceed with the modification or initiate a new procurement.
